Dunedin's dogs are taking over Highlander Park for Dogtoberfest on Saturday.

Bring the dogs and lawn chairs for a day of family-friendly activities, including a doggie costume contest, a pet costume contest, a wiener dog race, pet vendors, live music and, of course, a beer garden. 

The event is free to attend, but a $3 parking fee and beer money goes to Suncoast Animal League. Cruises and jewelry will be raffled.
