What a success! This morning was the Strut Your Mutt walk at the Santa Monica Pier and it was so fantastic to watch pups and parents walking to support "No More Homeless Pets."
Beginning with some yoga and stretching (for both humans and their canine companions!), the walk kicked off at 8am with participants grouped into over 20 dog packs. Sean, Bo, and I walked as a part of the Best Friends Dog Pack LA to raise money for the organization that hosted the event.
Well, let me rephrase that: Sean and I walked and Bo was carried because he hurt his foot on Thursday and it was all bandaged up! Let me tell you- 15 lbs. of dog in your arms gets VERY tiring after a while…
Regardless, Bo was a trooper and we all enjoyed walking through the fog with many happy pups. After the walk, there was a doggie festival with music, belly rubs, food & treats, contests, local vendors, free swag, and LOTS of fun!
I believe that Best Friends raised over $200,000 in pre-registration alone, so I really look forward to hearing the grand total. There were also some dogs there looking for a new family so I hope there were a few adoptions as well!
