It’s a summer favourite for pet owners in Edmonton, and this year, Pets in the Park marks its 25th anniversary.

Hundreds of pet owners and their four-legged friends took part in activities at Hawrelak Park including a walk and run that raised money for the Edmonton Humane Society.

The day also included food trucks, a dog-friendly beer garden, face painting and doggie demos.

The Edmonton Humane Society takes in about 9,000 animals every year, providing medical treatment and a new home for many.

The goal of Sunday’s fundraiser was $100,000.
