Woman has reunited dozens of lost dogs with owners Dave Gorgon Two decades ago, Wyandotte resident Deanna Grant went through back-to-back lifechanging events. In 2002, a successful restaurant/bar/small hotel she coowned near Brooklyn, Michigan, was destroyed by a fire. The next year, suffering from liver failure – and given six months to live – she underwent a liver transplant. “I was devastated when the fire happened,” Grant said. “I lived across the street. There wasn’t anything I could do. In the end, it was a godsend. If that didn’t burn, I wouldn’t do the right things to get through the transplant.” In 2006, Grant moved with her boyfriend Joseph Baffy to Wyandotte. Two years later, while
making improvements to the house, there was a sewer main collapse. All of her belongings that were being temporarily stored in the basement were lost. She remembers wearing only pajamas and socks while going to the store to buy something else to wear. In 2018, Joe died from a brain aneurysm. Two years later, Addison, her beloved Labrador retriever, passed away. “Addison was my world,” she said. “We did everything together. She taught me as much as I taught her. She really was an amazing dog. I wish she was still here for another 100 years.” The deaths left her devastated and depressed. Yet, through it all, Grant has found solace in her love SEE REUNITED, Page 3
