🌱 North Fork Daily: Dog In Dumpster Sparks Outpouring + Robotics Win

Happy Friday, North Fork neighbors! Since Patch posted a story about Justice, a dog thrown roughly into a dumpster, the outpouring of love and concern has led to offer of adoption from near and far. And now, that love has led to a new initiative to help other abused and neglected pups. A true testament to the heart of this community.

Also, the Southold robotics team continues to shine as it earns top honors in a Long Island competition. So proud of these students and this life-changing program.

Until next time. . .
