Cold mornings and Wet Noses

ASF is full of furry creatures these days, and I'm not just talking about Ferdinand the Bull and his friends. Today is the 9th Annual Walk 'n Wag Pledge Walk for the Montgomery Humane Society in Blount Cultural Park.


The weather was downright cold this morning at 41 degrees, but that didn't stop lots of cute four-legged friends and their owners from coming out for the costume contest, silent auction, 50-yard Doggie Dash and  more.



One very special guest was Mr. Louis Vuitton, a pit bull who survived extraordinary cruelty at the hands of a very disturbed young man. Louis' story was on the news for weeks here in Montgomery, and a local family adopted him and has given him a VERY loving new home. Because he had been so severely abused it took a very special family to take him in. As you can see, he's doing great!

Local radio hosts (and great friends of the theatre) JT & Leanne from Mix 103's married in the Morning were the emcees for the event and introduced a new member of their family, a pup they lovingly call a chi-wiener, a cross between a chihuahua and dachshund. Sure is cute in that dino-suit!

Thanks to all who came out to the park this morning. Here's hoping it was a huge success for the Montgomery Humane Shelter!
