Mashpee, Mass. (September 5, 2011) – Among the sweetest phrases a dog can hear? Dinner time and Dogs Allowed, of course! Well, canines from the Cape and beyond are allowed and encouraged to frolic and play at Hot Diggity's 4th annual “Dogs Allowed” event on Sunday, September 18 from 11 AM – 3 PM in Mashpee Commons.

Proceeds from this year’s event will go towards building a new Mashpee Dog Park. The 1.5 acre park will be located on Ashumet Rd behind Heritage Park on Route 130. The town has approved phased building of the park, and The Mashpee Dog Park Committee aims to raise an additional $15,000 to build phase one of the park through various fundraisers and through online donations at www.mashpeedogpark.com.

Hot Diggity's “Dogs Allowed” features a day of activities, vendors and fun for both people and pups. Activities include an obedience demo, contests including owner/dog look-a-like, fastest tail wag, loudest bark and bobbing for weenies, a Pawject Runway fashion show, a police K9 demonstration, a blessing of the animals and the ever popular retrieving race to find the Cape's fastest canine. An agility try-it station, dog massages, the opportunity for dogs to make their own art work, a kids craft table, make your own pawprint ornaments, tug toys and dog bandanas, professional photographs of your pup sitting on a tractor complete with a cowboy hat, tons of free samples and giveaways, goodie bags to the first 300 dogs, a live DJ, a huge raffle, food vendors, doggie pools and more round out the day.
