The countdown is here to the second annual
Muttmazing Race, hosted by CityDog Magazine!
The Muttmazing Race kicks off at the rockin' South Lake Union Block Party, Friday, August 8 from noon to 7 p.m.
Compete with your furry, four-legged teammate in a variety of fun challenges for a chance to win great prizes and raise money for the Seattle Animal Shelter's Help the Animals Fund.
All dogs are welcome... little dogs, big dogs, three-legged dogs, funny looking dogs (you get the idea). Challenges might include: licking peanut butter off a spoon; finding a hidden treat in a bin of squeaky toys; bobbing for tennis balls; learning a new trick; or maneuvering a short maze. Challenges are designed to be fun first, challenging second.
Only the challenges are timed, so in between quench your thirst in the beer garden with your best bud, check out vendor booths, sample foods from South Lake Union neighborhood restaurants, hang out in the special dog area, and listen to live music -- all as part of the
South Lake Union Block Party. The festivities end with the top finalists from NWsource.com's
Best Pet Pics strutting their stuff down the catwalk plus an outdoor movie screening of Juno. And it's all dog friendly!

Meet Sunny, our handsome model gracing the fall cover! Sunny's mom won the highest bid for Sunny to be on the cover, helping to raise money for a great cause at this year's Homeward Pet Adoption Center's annual auction! Seattle pet photographer Bev Sparks donated her time and talent to the shoot, which took place on a beautiful "sunny" day at Luther Burbank Park on the shores of Lake Washington.
