Tomorrow, May 17th, is the 10th annual Mighty Texas Dog Walk, sponsored by the Texas Hearing and Services Dogs organization.
It starts at 10:30 am, in Austin, at the Congress Avenue Bridge, it goes wandering through downtown Austin for 3 miles, and those that finish get treats!! (There are also exhibitors along the route with freebies, and lots of water stations for the pups.)
It's not free -- after all, it's a fund-raising event. You do have to pay a $25 registration fee per dog (register there, or online).
The group hopes to have enough participants to win their THIRD Guinness Book World Record for the "largest dog walk" -- especially since some snooty British dogs had some snooty British dog walk and took over the Guinness record with 10,272 dogs participating. Grrrrrrr......
So, go help the Texas Hearing and Services Dogs group, go have some fun with your dog(s), get some nifty treats, and as the site says, help Bring the Record Back to Texas!!!!
Image: Human treat for finishers is a collector's tee shirt designed with this artwork by Mauro Garza. (This alone should make that $25/dog registration bearable, right?)
