Thousands of canines from across the state descended upon Prairie Oaks Metro Park on Aug. 26 to attend the annual animal fiesta known as Wag!Fest. For six hours, pooches of all ages, breeds, and abilities, played in the water at Water Bark Beach, met new friends, begged their human companions to buy them some treats, begged the humans manning vendor booths and food trucks for even more treats, and generally had a dog-gone good time. Shown here having that dog-gone good time at the Sky Dogs agility course is Zeke, a 3-year-old Aussiedoodle from Grove City. His human, Deanna Norwood, said Zeke has been competing in agility courses since he was 10-months old and loves showcasing his skills for the public.
