Dog tale

After President Hunter Rawlings, right, cuts the ceremonial ribbon Nov. 1 at the dedication for a $12.1 million addition to the Baker Institute for Animal Research, a beagle named Cheyenne is coaxed to enter a specially built dog house. From left are Douglas Antczak, director of Baker Institute; Dean of the College of Veterinary Medicine Donald Smith; Joanne Bicknese, DVM '78, chair of the institute's advisory council; and Lincoln Adams, an institute technician and owner of Cheyenne, whose paws broke ground for the construction project on June 1, 2001. "King Buck" was a champion retriever who inspired research into canine hip dysplasia and was owned by the first chair of the institute's advisory council. Charles Harrington/University Photography
