DAYVILLE — More than 150 dogs registered for the 1st Annual Bark in the Park to sup- port the American Cancer Society’s Relay For Life of Northeastern Connecticut. On Sunday, Sept. 12, all types of breeds in every shape, size and color came to put their “paws for the cause” on the walking track of Owen Bell Park — from Airedale to Yellow Labrador, to Bichon Frise to Westie had come from all over northeastern Connecticut to raise money and awareness for the American Cancer Society.There were survivor dogs walked by their owners, and survivor owners supported by their dogs. The event began with a traditional opening ceremony, including a survivor dog, Samson. The beginning lap started off with the ever popular “Who Let the Dogs Out?” Participants could enter contests, visit area ven- dors of the canine and human kind, as well as see a K-9 Police dog demonstration. Pooches were treated to doggy bags with an assortment of treats and pet information. Veterinarians were on hand as well as groomers and shelters. Some dogs came to strut their stuff, while others were looking for that forever home. By closing ceremonies the event had raised more than $2,600 and was designated a “woofing” good time by all.
