Grafton’s pool goes to the dogs as summer winds down

As is tradition, the swimming season at the Grafton Family Aquatic Center ended with a Doggy Paddle Day on Monday, Aug. 24, when dogs, not people, got the chance to take the last dip of the summer. Claire Henning took photos as her 8-year-old daughter Olivia prepared to throw a ball for their dog Lucky Milkshake (left). The event drew an eclectic canine crowd that ranged from a Husky that looked like it relished the opportunity to cool down to a smaller dog wearing a life vest (top right).             Photos by Sam Arendt
