Dog alerts Morris man to medical condition

For a Morris man, man's best friend is also his hero.

Don Baron, 65, is a regular walker of Sophie, a 9-year-old chocolate lab, through Bone-ifide Care. Inc. Baron's daughter, Bonnie Latta, owns the dog pet services company and he is one of her dog walkers. Sophie's owner, Jan Close of Morris, has been using their services for years.

"She gets excited whenever Bonnie comes or when the other walkers come, but not the same as when Don comes. I call him her boyfriend Don," Close said.

I'm in favor of anything that will help improve school finances
I will support it if it helps to lower my property taxes
I oppose it because I don't believe it will impact property taxes and I will just pay twice
I'm against any additional taxes
I have not heard enough yet to form an opinion
