Found by accident in the jungles of New Guinea during World War II, this brave dog went on to be chosen as the #1 mascot of the South Pacific and the world's first official therapy dog of record.  She earned two medals of honor for her bravery and the many lives she saved.  Join producer and professional public speaker, Adrian Brigham, as he shares Smoky's incredible story in a delightful PowerPoint presentation and meet therapy dog, "Hairy Pawter", who now follows in Smoky's paw prints, and is a famous pooch in his own right .  The free  program is co-sponsored by the Addison Historical Society and Addison Public Library on Thursday, March 21, 2024 at 7pm. at the library. Pre-registration through the library is required.
