Chewie did a great job around the other dogs and really just left most of them alone- he isn't much of a butt sniffer. He had some rambunctious puppies try to play with him, and he just looked at them and kept walking. We stopped at some of the booths and picked up some free treats and food as well as a couple of reusable bags. Score!!
Along with being a great way to raise money for the Texas Hearing and Service Dogs, they were also trying to win the Guiness World Record title of largest dog walk. In years past this walk held that title, but then England decided to break Austin's record and take over the title. We needed to have more than 10,272 dogs walking to beat their record. I'm sure we'll have to wait and see how many showed up, but as you can see from the photos, there were a lot of people that showed up to walk!
Chewie making sure I was still behind him!
Start of the walk! We started on the 1st street bridge, walked down Cesar Chavez, looped around near Austin High School, then walked back down on the 1st street bridge.

There were all shapes and sizes of dogs at the walk.....
There were older dogs

Dogs that licked children
Dogs that kept looking back at me wondering why I kept taking pictures of them.. good thing Chewie is used to the camera in his face :)

Dogs that wore hats

Dogs that wore grass skirts (Dawn, I had to do a double take to make sure that wasn't Sue :) )
Long line of walkers, we were towards the front of the crowd

Dogs that wore rain slickers

I have always thought Chewie was a tall dog until he was next to this dog. The owner said he weighs 170 pounds... 90 pounds more than Chewie!
There were plenty of watering stations along the walk


Dogs wearing fabric necklaces
Big ol' lumbering dogs

Small dogs riding in carts

There were also dogs that were adoptable doing the walk. There were a few rescue organizations that were there showing off their dogs

What a great post! All these adorable dog photos made me smile!
Great post from a pup's perspective! Did you stop by our booth? I don't remember meeting Chewie... www.jennifurrr.com

Thanks Michelle!
Jen- I believe we did stop by the booth. Was your booth the one where you had to guess what was in the dog poop? I guessed balloons... :)
