Several people showed up Saturday, May 31 for the First Annual Dodie Gann Memorial Dog Walk, a benefit for The Animal Protection Society – Friday Harbor. Shadow Gann, pictured below, who belonged to Dodie Gann started the walk off and dogs and their owners walked a 1-mile course from Skagit Valley College to the end of the airport runway and back. A picnic lunch was provided at the end of the walk.
