Perfect day for men, women, man's best friend

Dog Day in the Park was a smash success with perfect weather and large crowds.  The Gazette Blog is proud to present the first published photos of the event, taken by Editor Jim Keyworth.  The hot dogs are the property of Tony and Stephanie Whetten and that's our guy Radar, a shelter rescue dog, going head to head with Mitzi Brabb's African Sulcatta turtle.  Brabb, a Gazette contributor, heads the local non-profit animal rescue organization Wonders of the Wild.
