Hawkeye loves people and being petted.
He is a registered therapy dog through Therapaws. In addition, he is a working sled dog who also does Agility, Obedience and a few adorable tricks. We aim to walk with Hawkeye and his handler every Tuesday. We’ll gather at the front of UHS and have a socially distanced walk together to the Diag and chat along the way. Then we will walk back to UHS.
This outdoor event is weather dependent and may be cancelled if temperatures are extremely cold, or if it's too icy or rainy.
