Hundreds of adorable area dogs (and their owners) pawed on over to Trum Field on Sunday for the sixth annual Somerville Dog Festival. Presented by the Somerville Foundation for Animals, this free canine carnival welcomed trainers, behaviorists, vendors and pet lovers of all kinds to celebrate our four-legged friends.
A slight drizzle didn’t stop anyone—person or pup—from enjoying the festival’s trick contests and agility demonstrations, nor did it prevent them from attempting to break the Guinness World Record for most dogs getting their teeth brushed in one place. Check out some of our favorite photos from this fun- and fur-filled day below!
