Join the Loyal Companions 4-H Club for its ninth annual Dogs Walking 4 Dogs fundraising event to benefit King County Search Dogs on Saturday, May 7.

The walk will be held at Riverview Park on the Cedar River Trail, 2901 Maple Valley Highway, Renton.

The money raised helps train the search dogs and handlers.

King County Search Dogs, including its volunteer handlers, will be on hand to meet and give demonstrations for everyone to enjoy, unless there is a rescue in progress.

It is a fun event with an easy walk on the beautiful Cedar River Trail. King County 4-H members, King County Search Dogs teams and the supportive public will bring their dogs along for the fun walk.

Loyal Companions will collect a participation fee from walkers as well as donations and pledges for miles walked.

Check-in will be 9:30-11 a.m. and the walk is 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Participants can register at the event and walk as many three-mile loops as they like.

This year 4-H members are challenging participants to bring at least $50 in pledge money, which will be collected upon check-in.
