Tom Ganser writes, “Max takes a break in the Main Street sleigh on Small Business Saturday.  He is a rescue dog who has joined our family, thanks to the work of Paddy’s Paws in Fort Atkinson.  Until four weeks ago, Max had spent his entire life in Houston, Texas . . . so getting ready for cold and snow “up North” will be a bit of a challenge.  But he’s up to the challenge!”
