Dog Day Afternoon
Quite a few dogs and their humans showed up to compete in events and just socialize. There were also demonstrations...
	The police brought their working dogs who illustrated how being a bad guy is now a good idea when they are around.		The "Newfies" demonstrated their strength and intelligence.
		Allie-Oop caught frisbees like a champ. That's her in the air inside the circle next to owner Frank Montgomery.
Sled dogs showed their stuff too.
	Annapolis Mayor Dean Johnson and Alderman Ellen O. Moyer were judges of the competitive events.	Winner of the largest dog title.	Competing for best singer.
Competing for best kisser.	Winner of the smallest dog title.	Even a little rain didn't keep everyone from having a great time.
