\"\"A pleasant afternoon on Sunday 10th November at Goodman\u2019s Bay, both two and four- legged walkers were ready to stroll the two-mile scenic route along the new Cable Beach strip for Baark\u2019s fourth annual \u2018Strut Your Mutt Walk-A-Thon\u2019. Almost 100 people and their dogs took part in the event helping to raise over $9,000 for Baark\u2019s spay\/neuter and education programs all over the Bahamas.<\/p>\n

At the colourful finish line all \u2018strutters\u2019 were treated to a delicious Ben and Jerry\u2019s ice cream and a refreshing drink from Liquid Courage whilst the four-legged walkers each received numerous Purina dog treats.<\/p>\n

Once all the walkers returned Baark! presented several fun awards and accolades including \u2018The Prettiest Potcake\u2019 and \u2018Dog Owner Look-A-Like\u2019.<\/p>\n

\"\"Participants had brought in sponsorship pledges to help raise money and the top five amounts were also given prizes including a 7-night stay from Endless Vacation Rentals and an iPad donated by Think Simple.<\/p>\n

Sarah Kennedy, Baark\u2019s event director said \u201cnot only does Strut-Your-Mutt raise money and awareness for our cause, it also brings people of all ages together to celebrate and share their passion for animals.\u201d<\/p>\n

The event was sponsored by Purina Dog Chow and Asa H Pritchard. Richard Curry, brands manager for Purina said \u201cIt is always our pleasure to support Baark! and their mission. We are proud to work along side such a proactive organization who do such important work in our community\u201d.<\/p>\n
