A special craft show at Trenton High School

What started out as an economics unit for a group of Trenton High School students ended as something that will likely become a welcomed annual tradition.

Their creations included products such as pencil holders, calming bottles, noise makers, fairy lights, pet beds, dream catchers, picture and chip holders and more. By the end of the two-day craft fair, all that was left were empty tables and full hearts from those involved...

Lost dogs seem to gravitate to [Deanna] Grant’s home near the Jo Brighton Center. Maybe it’s the scent of her own pets that draw them there. Whatever it is, she does her best to reconnect dog and owner.

When she finds a dog, Grant checks for contact information on the animal’s collar and makes a connection with the owner if possible. Meanwhile, she keeps the visiting dogs safe and provides nourishment as they wait.

If no contact info is found, she posts a sign near her home announcing “I have your dog” or something similar. That seems to work, leading to dozens of joyous reunions.

“They need help,” Grant said. “They need somebody to get them back to their family...”
