We took our Springer Spaniel and participated in this walk yesterday.
Not a bad turnout considering most people were at Canada Winter Games
events... or took advantage of the early 'March break' to skip town.

Sad to see animals killed for no reason. We have a similar problem here
with greyhounds. After their short racing careers are over, they
typically are put down. There is at least one group, though, that
rescues these noble dogs and gets them adopted out to loving owners.
I've "met" a few of these rescue greyhounds at the local pet store and
on a nearby beach boardwalk. They're beautiful dogs.
