[PyrNet-L] pictures of mighty texas dog walk

["Janice Swenson" <janices@jump.net>]

Last month, February 20th, members of Capital Canine Carting 
Club and Hill Country Great Pyrenees Club walked 3 miles for 
charity.  The walk was to raise money for Texas Hearing and 
Service Dogs and set a Guinness Book of Records for dogs and 
walkers.  We do things big in Texas......2,112 were 
walked......which nearly doubled the Guinness Book of Records 
figure for dogs walked set last year in Canada.  To be listed, the 
number must be confirmed with Guinness.  The event also raised 
about $20,000 for charity.  

There are some pictures on my website at

Walk) and pictures on our Capital Canine Carting Club website at

Not too long after the event I was picking up dog food and we were 
talking about the event and the manager had been told about all 
these "white newfoundlands" that were at the dog walk and he tried 
to correct them by saying "don't you mean great pyrenees."
