Nineteen-year-old Racquel Raska said she’s “been wanting to get a puppy for a while.”
But after she got her pure-bred golden retriever — a three-month-old she’s named Bow Duke, similar to “The Dukes of Hazard” character — she admitted she was recently finding a shortage of things to do with the pup in the area.
Raska lives in Capac, while her boyfriend lives in Port Huron. Sometimes, she said she takes Bow to the Fort Gratiot Pond, adding, “While he’s fishing, I’ll walk around with him.” Looking for more options, in particular a beach to welcome dogs, she took to the Port Huron Facebook page to ask.
