Dozens of dogs splashed, shook off water, chased balls, made friends and cooled off Saturday afternoon at the Montgomery Pool as part of the city of Albuquerque's doggy paddle event.
Many of the dogs in attendance were shelter rescues, and Animal Welfare Department was on scene with more adoptable dogs.
