Franklin Street Yoga will sponsor a yoga event in support of Susie’s Miracle Fund, which works to support animal-abuse victims and to increase state laws and penalties for animal cruelty, at 1:30 p.m. on March 20.
Lori Burgwyn, owner of Franklin Street Yoga Center and a supporter of animal-rescue organizations, said she was inspired by Susie’s story. Now a grown dog, Susie was beaten, set on fire and left to die at a park in Guilford County. She survived and was on hand last year for the signing ceremony for a new law named in her honor, increasing penalties for animal cruelty.
Susie plans to attend the yoga event to lend a helping paw.
