Hundreds of runners — on two and four legs — descended on Balloon Fiesta Park on Sunday for the 43rd Annual Doggie Dash & Dawdle. The event is a fundraiser for Animal Humane New Mexico, which uses the proceeds to support the at-risk and homeless animals the organization assists every year across the state. Pet owners ran with their dogs, and other participants rented adoptable dogs for the race.
