Who let the dogs out?

April 19, 2022

Did you know that the Chubu Walkathon is a pet-friendly event?

You're doggone right it is!


Let's hear from Ginger...

Hey! Hey! Won't you take me to the Walkathon?


It's the perfect event for us to spend a Sunday together!


There will be lots of fresh spots for us to check out (OK...I confess. I'm tired of smelling the same 'ol neighborhood) and friends to meet... both the 2-legged and 4-legged kinds. It'll be good for both of us, don't you think?


And as an added bonus, we'll be helping to make our Chubu area a great place to live. So many charities are working to make life easier for people that have it a little... 'ruff', so to speak.


My personal favorite is the Japan Service Dog Association. They bring a little cutie along to the event each year... hubba hubba! I promise I won't try to eat any hotdogs that the little kids drop and I won't bark too much. So, what do you say? Me and you at Meijo Park on May 22nd? I am your best friend, after all!

Fido (and Ginger) will need to be on a leash and on his/her best behavior, but if your family includes a dog, why not bring 'em along and enjoy a great day in the fresh air? All while supporting a great cause

Dogs of the Chubu Walkathon

Whether you have a dog or not, we hope you will join us for this wonderful international festival!


The Walkathon would not exists if it were not for the wonderful and generous Chubu Community!

Please plan to attend and/or donate to this year's Walkathon and help us bring smiles to those in need within Chubu.
