Doggie Walk a Hit With Animal Lovers

It was a beautiful day to help raise awareness of an important cause.

You could not have asked for a better day to help raise awareness of an important cause.

More than 100 walkers, both the four-legged and two legged variety, came out to help raise awareness of myasthenia gravis at the  at South Park's Ethlebert Shelter near the Doggy Park and Gazebo. 

The walkers enjoyed a silent auction with a great array of prizes, a doggie costume contest and plenty of pizza while helping to raise funds for the Myasthenia Gravis Association of Western PA (MGA).
