Soldier Troy Yocum is hiking 7,000 miles cross-country with his drum and his little shiba inu, Emmie, to raise money for soldiers & their families. He started in April 2010 & is planning to hike for 16 months. Our shiba meetup group was invited to meet him at The Legends this morning, and to bring as many shibas as possible!
A couple of search & rescue dogs came out for the event too:
The shiba crowd gathers on the patio; someone said, "treat":
