On the weekend my wife and our 4 legged son ran in our annual "Pets in the Park" run to raise money for the SPCA. I couldn't run this year because of an IT band injury.

There were probably only 50-60 dogs in the race (and 250+ runners), but close to 700 dogs (and various other critters) were in the park to take in what was a carnival affair.

The "speedy" ones started near the front and the race was off!






Everybody was here to have fun and raise money for our animal friends.





A few motion shots for the last challenge ...

















And to cool off at the finish line, something for the pooches ...




A few dogs that just watched ...




And some of our other gentle creatures joined in on the day ...




A fun time was had by all ...

The cool off and last shots are really sweet! You can see a bit of the retriever's tongue, it looks cuuute. And so's the girl kissing the rabbit (it is a rabbit, isn't it?)

Thanks for sharing!

The motion "triplets" are great.

The cool down shot at the end is something I totally understand. I used to
put my lab outside on warm afternoons with the sprinkler and he'd carry it
all around and water the lawn.
