Is your dog ready to be the next “Barking Idol”? Or, maybe he needs a doggie massage or “paw-dicure”? Many Fido-friendly activities will be happening during the Mutt Strut, including a Best Howler competition where you can see if your BFF can carry a tune while competing with other doggie howlers. Or, stroll through the Mutt Midway where your pooch can be pampered with a mini massage and pedicure.
All of this and more will take place during the Friends For the Dearborn Animal Shelter’s 4th annual Mutt Strut at Ford Field in Dearborn. Mutt Strut is a community-wide animal celebration day focusing on a pledge-driven dog walk along a 1.8 mile course through the West Dearborn business district. The walk will take place rain or shine since all weather is good dog-walking weather.
Mutt Strut, which is sponsored by Dearborn Family Pet Care, includes fun activities for the whole family. Some of the highlights include a Doggie Health Zone, Milt Wilcox’s Ultimate Air Dogs (dog dock diving that you have to see to believe), Dog Games and Contests, an all-day Adopted Dog Birthday Paw-ty, and much more. Further details are available at www.DearbornMuttStrut.com . The Web site also provides easy registration and on-line pledging capability, where you can create your own Web page to ask for donations.
