Dog Still Walks Grand Avenue Like Faithful Pooch
In Wausau Wisconsin a 12 year old terrier known as the dog without the man continues his daily walk along Grand avenue to Oak Island park. The dog belonged to late Frank Zemke the City hotel bartender who walked with him for years until his death in 1947. After Zemke’s passing the dog waited outside the former hotel room and later chose hotel owner Frank Boettcher as his new master. The dog now mostly walks alone turning back as if hoping to see Zemke follow.
