Bark for Life” that took place in Riverhead, NY, on Saturday evening June 12 was a howling success! More than one hundred participants and their dogs took part in the event, which was the first of its kind on Long Island. The event was based on the American Cancer Society’s ‘Relay for Life’ events that take place across the country. With many survivors in attendance, both human and dogs, they are living proof that beating, surviving and living beyond the diagnosis of cancer is more than possible.

Many of the dogs, (and their owners), took place in the relay and the many doggie games and competitions throughout the evening. Participants including the four-legged and two-legged kind were all having a great time, and a lot of tail wagging was happening across the park. Raffles to benefit the American Cancer Society and lots of giveaways by vendors – gave attendees armfuls of great treats and toys for their dogs. We know the dogs will be barking for this event to become an annual dog walk!
