Every dog has his day. For us and our four-footed friends in this part of East Tennessee, that day is Saturday, May 5, at Sequoyah Hills Park on Cherokee Boulevard in west Knoxville. I guess you can tell I have a Lab. Not unless they can bark. Heh heh, just kidding.
All pets are welcome, but the event is planned for dogs.
Mac was named for a baseball champ and Harry, well, he's just so hairy, the name stuck for obvious reasons. When Mac was brought to the shelter, he was so medically fragile he could not stay with other dogs. Well, we all know the rest of that story. Each year, one of the best parts of the festivities is the Silly Pet Tricks contest. Past winners have been canine assistants in a magic show, dogs who can eat treats from off their own noses, and, of course, there are always the opera singers.
