It’s coming! Cute puppies taking baths in a park (for charity)

Dogs get dirty, especially since the good ones aren’t forced to wear shoes and full track suits to protect their fur from the grass they like to run on. A local initiative, Paws for the Cause, has organized an event called “Paws Parklife” in Trinity Bellwoods Park on Saturday, July 16, where—for a suggested donation of $10—puppies can get pampered by a professional groomer. The goal of this afternoon (it runs from 11:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.) is to raise funds to advance veterinary health care, which is a bonus really, since the instant payoff is a perfectly primped furball.
