Dog Lovers Days In Meaford This Weekend

Dog owners who love to show off their pets performing tricks will get the chance to do so this weekend, and donate to a worthy cause.

The Beautiful Joe Heritage Society and the Municipality of Meaford are sponsoring Dog Lovers Days at William Croft Athletic Field in Meaford, both Saturday and Sunday between 10am and 5pm.

One of the events is the Tricks for Joe Challenge. BJHS President Evelyn Dean says it's modeled on the Ice Bucket Challenge.

"If you're into social media you can video your dog doing tricks, then, upload the video onto Facebook, YouTube or Twitter using #TricksForJoe and send it to The Beautiful Joe Heritage Society," says Dean.

Those unfamiliar with social media, however, can still take the challenge.

"Just bring your dog to the Beautiful Joe Heritage Society booth at the Dog Lover Days either Saturday or Sunday," says Dean. "After you’ve filled out a pledge, we will video your dog doing tricks at your command."

Other events and booths to visit during Dog Lovers Days include the Dog Water Events at Blue Dolphin Pool, the Pamper Zone and the Doggie Play Zone.
