BRYAN EATON/Staff photo. The Emma Andrews Library and Community Center in Newburyport recently added a new volunteer to their staff, a service dog Danica, meeting Henry Panall, 4, with his mother Jill. The Great Dane's partner and owner is Susan Dodge, left, a long time volunteer at the library. Dodge, who has rheumatoid arthritis, applied to the Service Dog Project in mid-2017 for consideration to be paired with one of their Great Danes to assist her in dealing with increased mobility issues and says Danica has been a hit with patrons there and feels quite at home.
