It's a pool pawty

From Rat Terriers to St. Bernards, dogs of all shapes and sizes enjoyed the opportunity to play around a pool at the Cape Splash Aquatic Center on Saturday.

Aquatic supervisor for the City of Cape Girardeau, Robert Shanahan, said in a press release, "This event is a great way to close out the summer and have the dogs end it with a splash!"

And that they did.

While some dogs walked in with their owners, others jumped in the deep end again and again.
