Frankie’s Legacy Lives on
Founded in August 2012 by author Barbara Techel, every September 22 is in celebration of the legacy of Frankie and in honor of all dogs in wheelchairs who teach us to embrace each day with love, hope, and joy.
Frankie’s story and legacy is alive and well in a children’s nature garden located in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. There you will find a stone stature of Frankie in her original dog wheelchair, as well as a sweet little perwinkle house she stands outside of looking out over the gardens.
