Dogtopia of Cary, NC Blog

We had a blast at this weekend’s AKC Responsible Dog Ownership Day.

There were big dogs, little dogs, herding dogs, toy dogs and everything else in-between. It was awesome to see so many area dog lovers out at an event all about being responsible parents to our four-on-the-floor dependees.

The fall fun doesn’t stop, there are THREE good time events this weekend and many more in the coming month:
