The Fort Frances waterfront went to the dogs yesterday.

Twenty canines and their owners took to the Waterfront for the annual Purina Walk for Dog Guides put on by the Voyageur Lion's Club and the Fort Frances High School's Leo Club.

Organizer Kendall Richardson says the event proved to be their most successful to date.

"It was a great turnout," says Richardson. "We had the greatest number of walkers and financial support this year than we've had over the past four events."

More than $2,400 was raised which all goes to supporting the Lions Foundation of Canada and its Dog Guide programs.
