Here’s a look at The Power Paws Assistance Dogs fund-raiser. You can see those who participated in the “Walk ‘n’ Roll Dog Walk” returning from their short course. There’s the usual intermingling of dogs, dog owners and those who just plain love dogs. And if you have never seen dogs bob for apples, you are in for a treat.

The Podsafe music is “Glass of Wine” by The New Autonomous Folksingers. Sounds like something from the movie, “A Mighty Wind.”

Yes, this is (according to the Chinese New Year) “The Year of the Dog.” The commemorate the celebration, we went to The Power Paws Assistance Dogs fund-raiser at Tempe Town Lake.
