The
annual 5K Spring Sprint fundraiser for the Greater Fall River
Re-Creation Committee on May 2, 2009, included Wally the dog who
joined dozens of human walkers as they headed to
Heritage
State Park,
the Battleship
USS Massachusetts, and along the Taunton River on the mile-long
boardwalk to
Bicentennial Park. Wally kept Jennifer Souza on her toes the whole
way, except, of course, for a few stops to check out the scents of other
canine walkers along the way. The highlight of the trip was a chance to
meet Ace, the six-month-old Great Dane along the way. Wally recommends
that all humans walk a lot for their health, as long as they always take
their dog along (whether they have a dog or not!).
