A pack of pooches and their two-legged companions invaded Indian Foothills Park Saturday, April 16. The canines participated in a walk up and down the hill from the Lion's Club shelter before participating in a costume contest and a best trick competition. All funds raised from registration fees went to support the general needs of the Marshall Animal Shelter. The event was organized by Missouri Valley College students as part of their Public Relations coursework.

Is it time to walk yet?
And they're off.
Let's go this way!
Break time?

Everybody gears up for the trek back up the hill.
Hydrating is important.
Costume contest winners Laretta Carrell and Yorkie
This is hard work.
Best Trick Competition winners Natasha Whitman and Lacy
Just out of reach.
Party's over. Carry me home.
