Cooling off at Mayfair Outdoor Pool. A dog gets a helping hand leaving the pool during the annual Dog Day of Summer event in Saskatoon, Aug. 20, 2024.
Every year as summer days dwindle, the City of Saskatoon invites dogs owner to bring their pets for a swim at the Mayfair Outdoor Pool before it shuts down for the season. On Tuesday, the City of Saskatoon hosted its annual Dog Day of Summer swim meet. As the summer days dwindle, the city lets dogs take a dip in the pool before shutting it down for the season.
Desiree Parisien brought Gracie, a black Labrador cross who was her service dog for nearly 15 years. Gracie lost her hearing and is now retired. The annual Dog Day of Summer swim event is now setting aside blocks of time for different dogs. Small dogs have their swim times in the morning and evening. Once a year, this pool goes to the dogs. Saskatoon public pools are about to close, so on Tuesday the city let people bring their pets to cool off.
