"My son [Nicholas] and I are so thankful for our two rescue dogs. They have offered us so much love and many laughs during such a dark time. They love to keep the squirrels away from the bird feeder and they are vigilant watchdogs who alert us when the neighbor’s cat dares to enter our yard." — Elizabeth Piepenbring. Copper, a 4-and-a-half-year-old beagle/dachshund mix, and Lucy, a 3-year-old beagle/Catahoula leopard hound mix, live in Lyon Park.
