Daredevil doggies are all aboard at ‘Puppy Paddle’

All paws were on deck last Sunday morning at the third annual Puppy Paddle, with pupsters having a great time taking a wet spin around the Indian River Lagoon with their humans. After a brief lesson on proper paddleboarding techniques and safety, pet owners launched their boards from the MacWilliams Park boat launch, where the only stroke allowed was the dog paddle. The event, sponsored by Orchid Island Dog Spa & Resort and Paddles by the Sea, was organized to support the nearby Vero Beach Dog Park, which relies on contributions to provide a free public dog park to members of the community and their four-legged friends.
