Dogs take plunge at Alameda
BUTLER TWP — Pooches paddled their paws off Sunday at Alameda Park.
More than 100 dogs and their respective humans strutted into the water park for the Dog Paddle Pool Party, hosted by the Butler County Parks and Recreation Department.
Lance Welliver, director of the department, helped sign up those registering at the door.
“We have the dog park already,” he said. “This adds to what we can offer to the community.”
A chocolate Lab named Brownie jumped in after a tennis ball while his owner Katie Ellis of Butler watched.
“He likes to go in the boat, and he likes the water,” she said. “He'll swim non-stop.”
