Smiles and wagging tails were aplenty Saturday throughout Cook Park throughout the Dog Days of Summer in Libertyville.
The three-day occasion functions almost 45 suppliers and 6 family pet rescue companies, a presentation by the Lake County Sheriff’s Office cops dog and the popular Dock Dogs water competitors.
“Our entire function is to raise money for saves and food kitchens,” said Dave Love, who runs the occasion together with John Dereu.
They were offering $20 Dog Days of Summer Tee shirts, that included the name “Elwood” on the front — the name of the convenience dog just recently contributed to the Libertyville Police Department by Canines 4 Comfort — in a camping tent at the southwest corner of the park.
Dog Days of Summer continues Sunday and consists of Yoga with my Pet at 10 a.m. and a family pet parade at midday.
