Former Cape Girardeau Mayor Jay B. Knudtson, left, reveals a T-shirt resembling his dog, Bella, while board president Charlotte Craig records the moment with her cellphone during the Humane Society of Southeast Missouri groundbreaking of its new 12,000-square-foot facility — right next to its current building — Wednesday in Cape Girardeau. During his speech, Knudtson praised the society for its work and said it is not done yet. About $2 million of the estimated $3.7 million needed for the project has been raised. “The community has to continue to support this,” Knudtson said.Sarah Yenesel
