Hundreds of Animal Lovers Expected for Bark in the Park
The event will feature a demonstration from Holliston's police K9 to go along with the fundraiser for Baypath Humane Society.
For the 13th year in a row animal lovers will gather at Hopkinton State Park to celebrate canines and support Baypath Humane Society.
One of the biggest attractions according to event organizers will be a demonstration by Officer Matt Stone and K9 Cesh of the Holliston Police Department who will be doing a "not to be missed" demonstration of obedience, scent discrimination and more.
In addition Lilly, the pit bull who dragged her owner off train tracks to safety while a train approached, will be joining the walk.
