Pups on the Pond

A couple of weeks ago, I went with Dogs with Wings (DWW) to "Pups on the Pond", a fundraising event for the Edmonton Humane Society put on by the Edmonton Oil Kings.  The public got to bring their pet dogs to the hockey game that night, and we went to bring awareness to the community about DWW.  There was quite a contrast between our dogs, who are socialized to being out in public from the time they are seven-eight weeks old, to the pet dogs who were there.  Most of the pets were quite stressed, barking at fights that broke out on the ice between hockey players, howling to the sound of the air horns or peeing in the lobby.  Most of the pet dogs were uncertain of the big mascots walking around the arena, but DWW dogs hunkered in for a photo shot with "Bandaid".
