THIS SATURDAY! 🐕‍🦺🐾💙

Akron’s “K-9 Challenge” is being sponsored by the Akron Police Department and will include teams of dogs and handlers from various agencies.

The Olympic-style competitions begin at 10 am, and will continue until completed - about 1 pm, at Firestone Stadium, 1575 Firestone Pkwy. It is open to the public and admission is free.

Dogs will be judged on obedience, agility, and criminal apprehension - following criteria used in state certification tests. In addition to trophies being awarded in various categories, there will be one “Top Dog” award given to the K-9 team that scores the most points.

While we love animals, PLEASE LEAVE YOUR PETS AT HOME!
