On a recent Saturday, dogs and their human friends took part in a Hound Hike on the 1.5 mile Tree Trail at Ouabache State Park. Meeting site was the Trails End Shelter. All dogs were required to be on a 6 foot leash. Clyde, at left, became a Trailblazer to focus on weight management. His hiking companion was his owner Becky Bratmueller. (Photos provided)
