Organizers estimated that about 3,000 people were in attendance, along with 1,500 dogs. The funds raised in 2019 were a 25 percent increase over the
funds raised in 2018 and a 417 percent increase over the funds raised during the event’s inaugural year in 2009.

Council praised the event and its organizers. “Hats off to your entire organization,” said Councilman Robert McHale. “[It is] a pedestal of what volunteerism is all about.”
