Wayside Waifs – Strutt With Your Mutt
Who cares about a few raindrops when you’re helping a good cause? Not the nearly 1,500 dogs (and their human companions) who participated in the 27th annual Strutt With Your Mutt, which was held in the lovely Brookside neighborhood on September 17th. The Fairfax Four performed throughout the festivities. The event raised a record $185,000, which will benefit the homeless animals at Wayside Waifs. The top individual fundraisers were also the youngest fundraisers: Emma Price and Abby Hunt.
