Paws 4 a Cause: the wrap with pictures

We posted last week about Paws 4 a Cause, a "Canine Cancer Walk" that's tied to the San Pedro Relay for Life Luminaria Walk coming up on May 22.

The dog walk component was held on Saturday at Deane Dana Friendship Park in San Pedro and organizer Jessica Johnson (that's her on the right) sent in these photos taken at the event. Between 20 and 30 people showed up, Jessica said, adding that last year's first walk drew only about three or four participants.

Next year she's working on recruiting a couple rescue groups to take part. The walk raised $705 that will go directly to the American Cancer Society.

From Jessica:

Thanks to all of you who made it to the event. A special thanks to Centinela Pet Feed and Supply for coming to the event along with their Lotus representative for making the lovely goodie bag. :) A spcial thanks goes out to also to Chic Canines, Dino's Pet Shoppe Boutique (formerly Kritter Korral) and Bistro -- and Nature's Select Pet Food for their donations and contribution to making the 2nd Annual Paws for a Cause such a great success!

Below and on the jump are some photos she sent along. What a picture-perfect day for a dog walk overlooking the harbor:
