ST. PETER, Minn. (AP) On a warm afternoon in late March 2020, Ali Abdi and one of his young daughters, Maryam, sat outside their rental home observing the neighborhood along a St. Peter street they’d moved to only days earlier.

One problem weighing on his mind: The need for a bathroom large enough for his wife, Fartun, and him to provide personal hygiene care for their invalid children. Ali was treated to a temporary distraction from his worries that day when he spotted a happy-go-lucky pooch ambling down the sidewalk ahead of her owner.
