Two Dog Tales

The 17th annual Arlington Animal Welfare League Walk for the Animals is this Saturday, May 12, at Bluemont Park in Arlington. Last year, more than 500 walkers and 300 dogs raised $90,000 for the shelter in Shirlington.

Register online before Friday at 5:00 p.m. for $25 per (human) walker. Pre-registered walkers are guaranteed a t-shirt and bandanna. The onsite registration fee is $40.

Sundae models her bandanna from the walk.
