Pembroke Pines, FL (October 11, 2021) - Hundreds of people and their “furry friends” were in attendance for the 9th Annual Bow Wow Ween Halloween Party at the K-9 Officer Craig C. Rupp Dog Park located at 9751 Johnson Street (just east of Palm Avenue).  Each year dogs, with the assistance of their owners, arrive in their best Halloween attire to take part in a wide variety of games and compete for bragging rights.
 
Additionally, various local vendors assisted organizers with the event by providing information and an assortment of treats and plenty of water bowls for all the dogs in attendance.  The following were this year’s winners:
