Relax, it's just for one night and it is one of the many community events that make Danville, CA such a great place to live. Doggie Night in Danville traditionally kicks off the Memorial Day Weekend with a Thursday night event just for dogs and their owners.
The event features many pet service providers and organizations that support adoption, training and health services primarily for dogs, but other family pets as well.
What makes the event special for the canine crowd is a form of trick-or-treating usually known only by children on Halloween. Owners of the lucky dogs are given a bag and a map of downtown Danville with participating merchant locations highlighted. Dogs take their owners to the participating businesses where they receive a treat that sometimes goes straight into the mouth or into the bag to be savored later.
This is a good event for local businesses as well because many of the dog owners are introduced to their offerings and local restaurants with outdoor seating are usually filled to capacity by owners with their dogs sitting close by.
Weather was perfect this year for the event and our 4 ½ year old Scottish Terrier, Missy MacGregor, thoroughly enjoyed herself as she always does, but as you can see the event takes a lot out of the "short leggers" and they need a nap when they get home!
