Stress bandanas raise money for veterinarian costs
Dog Bandanas 01
Bonnie Dittmer, Juda, holds her dogs Elsey, a 10-year-old terrier and Tahoe, a corgi puppy, wearing stress bandanas she made for them. Dittmer has been making calming canine bandanas to raise money for The Vegas Project, which Dittmer established to give money to the Brodhead Veterinary Medical Center to help people who need financial assistance to treat their pet. The project is in honor of Dittmer’s 11-year-old corgi Vegas, who died from pancreatic cancer in November. - photo by Marissa Weiher
JUDA — Bonnie Dittmer was grief-stricken after she lost her 11-year-old corgi Vegas suddenly to pancreatic cancer in November, but she knew Vegas wouldn’t want her to be sad, so she decided to turn her grief into a positive mission to help others.
