PEWAUKEE — In hospital rooms, community centers, and Legion posts across southeastern Wisconsin, the greeting is often the same: four paws, a wagging tail, and a quiet kind of healing.

That’s Teddy — Army veteran Sue Zenda’s therapy dog.

Zenda, of Pewaukee, joined the U.S. Army in 1986, inspired by her father, a Korean War veteran. She served two decades with the 84th Division Headquarters, later the 84th Training Division, in administrative and human resources roles supporting Army operations across a six-state region.

“The standards were high, and we always met or exceeded them,” Zenda said. “I always found value in being able to support people. To be part of something bigger than myself was motivation to keep serving.”
