The West St. Paul K9 Foundation is hosting the third annual K9 Walk—now with more dogs.

Why: The event supports the West St. Paul Police Department’s K9 program and minimizes the burden on the police budget.

More dogs: In addition to police K9s Cecil and Bear, the department’s new therapy dog Rocky will join the festivities.
