A little while ago, we were very honoured to be asked to not only participate in this amazing local event, but to also be their official photographer as well! A Bark in the Park was organized by our local Dog Group - BOW WOW COAST! It was an off the PAW event with a ton of contests, games & demonstrations and had some amazing local pet related vendors & local animal rescues in attendance. There were a ton of really amazing dogs in every shape, size & breed imaginable! It was amazing to be part of such a grande event! Be sure to check out our Facebook Page for more fun photos of this event!
All the dogs in attendance were amazing and very well behaved, as these two lovely pups proved as they showed such wonderful manners meeting for the first time ....
Dogs of every shape, size & breed were in attendance for this amazing event - I was in puppy heaven! Several stole a tiny piece of my heart and I was in 7th heaven being covered in snuggles & smooches by all the pups who stopped by our booth, including this beautiful pup!
From the tiniest Chihuahua to Great Danes - dogs of all varieties and their owners showed up and enjoyed an amazing day of celebrations!
What the day was all about - Dog owners/lovers & the dogs celebrating for the Love of Dog.
There were a ton of events & contests to enter for dogs of every skill level, shape & size....
Pups ready for one of the great contests - The don't eat the hot dog contest -
Pups were told to Sit/Stay on one side of the field while their owners crossed to the other side.
Once there the owners called their pups to them - the trick was that in between owner and pups
was sprinkled with tempting hot dogs ... the winner was the one who didn't eat the hot dogs!
I was amazed that the pups were all so well behaved! It took several heats to determine a winner!
Way to go Bow Wow Coasters! We have some amazing pups!
A great way to top off the day - a Pet Blessing for all the pets in attendance
