(Virginia Beach, VA) On Saturday, March 16th, Ashley Horner and Spike’s K9 Fund will begin our 25-hour row for the working dogs! We will finish the row at 9:00 am on Sunday, March 17th. We are inviting the community to come out and show their support for our FIFTH ANNUAL LUCK OF THE K9 event at American Brew (3584 E Stratford Rd, Virginia Beach, VA 23455). Join us during the 25-hour challenge as we honor a fallen K9 every hour. Then, from 4 pm-9 pm on March 17th enjoy our community “bark” party. Proceeds from this event will go towards purchasing life- saving equipment for working dogs that keep our communities and country safe. There will be live music, exciting auctions, and a meet & greet with local police K9s! We will also have Spike’s merchandise for sale and copies of “Touching the Dragon” available. Join us and celebrate this St. Patrick’s Day for the dogs!
