Comments:This 3rd annual animal celebration day featured a pledge-driven dog walk, plus activities such as dog games and dog-dock diving with Milt Wilcox's Ultimate Air Dogs. The walk takes place in the heart of the Dearborn business district, so there are plenty of restaurants and shops. A great family day for two- and four-legged friends. Plus, all of the funds raised helps homeless animals!
