Parade your pooch, traipse with your tail-wagger and hike with your hound at this year's Strut Your Mutt 3K Walk/Fun Run. Hill's Science Diet and the SPCA of Texas are hosting the puppy promenade, which will take place 10:15 a.m. Saturday at Fair Park (other activities begin at 8 a.m.). Pups are permitted, but not required to participate. Three kilometers might seem like a lot, but you'll have five hours to complete the walk. Now that's what I call a fun run...no running at all! A cheesy, delicious reward for your efforts? Pizza Patron representatives will be waiting for you at the finish line with free pizza! Sorry, Fido. The event will include vendor booths, professional photographer Suzanne Demaree and activities for kids and dogs. Agility demonstrations, and team and individual fund-raising challenges will also take place. All participants must register through spca.org.
