The Doggie Ice Cream Social raised nearly $200 hundred dollars for Joliet Area Community Hospice's new P.E.A.C.E. pet therapy program, said Cathy Blum, owner of the Minooka Creamery. "Everyone was very generous," Larsen said in a text message, "and I'm so glad we were able to help support Joliet hospice for their new Pet Peace of Mind program." (Provided photo)
