Meet Sophie

Meet Sophie, the Texas-born AKC Lab with a heart as big as her tail wags! As the proud official Spokesdog of the Jamieson Ritter Foundation, she's not just a pretty face – she's a dock diving champion with 7 titles and a whole lot of accolades to her name (like her 2 titles in Fastcat).

Sophie dives into life with boundless enthusiasm, much like Jamieson did, making her the perfect pup to represent his cause.

  • Lakefront Lodge in Webster Park has been renamed to honor Jamieson Ritter.

    “Renaming this lodge in Jamieson’s honor is a tribute to the selflessness he exhibited when serving his community and our nation. I hope that people will take time to learn about Jamieson’s story and the sacrifice he made after visiting this newly renamed lodge in Webster Park,” said County Executive Adam Bello.
