Sheltering homeless pets is a great cause.   After the finish line, there were many booths.   A portion of all profits goes to the Dumb Friends League.   This is the first time we saw this Mobile Dog Wash.

The dog scarf is a fashion statement.   Large areas of Washington Park were designated play areas for dogs.   This obstacle course was fun to see.   This dog is not sure about going through the tunnel.
