Wow! Sunday's crowd was HUGE for the first Bark For Life walk held in NoDa! The Dog Bar was kind enough to host the event and even fenced in their parking lot so the dogs could roam off-leash. The crowds literally lined the street to get in to this doggy hotspot and to do what they could to aid in the fight against cancer. Despite the midday sun and the steamy temperatures, the participants rallied and raised almost $22,000! Woohoo!
Before the walk, the pups got to hang out, go swimming, visit vendor booths and meet other 4-legged walkers. And, of course, pose for the camera!
Any public place is cool in my book if a dog can be found in Superman pose on the floor!
The walkers rest-up right before the 1-mile stroll...
This year's Bark For Life walk was lead by Natalie, a 5-year-old Great Dane available for adoption from the Great Dane Friends of Ruff Love.
And tons of cute pooches followed!
Doggy contests followed the walk including the newest addition to the lineup...a pie licking contest!
Whose face was licked cleanest?!?
After a wonderful day in the sun, there's nothing like soaking your feet in the pool!
If your pup isn’t featured here, it’s not because he isn’t photogenic! Find more adorable 4-leggers here: http://mcgrawphotography.zenfolio.com. A portion of the proceeds from sales of prints will go to the American Cancer Society.
Thank you to everyone that came out to support the fight against cancer! I can't wait to see you again next year!
