The Corgi Walk in the Pearl is an annual benefit walk in Portland, Oregon for DoveLewis Emergency Animal Hospital and Corgi Rescue of The Columbia River Pembroke Welsh Corgi Club.
This year, on August 22nd more than 65 Corgis and their people raised $2301.00! Registration fees were $25 for the first Corgi, $15 for each additional Corgi, with entrants able to direct where their payments would be applied (DoveLewis and/or Corgi Rescue).

Looks like Portland has it going on when it comes to the furry frolics! The Daily Corgi might just have to visit sometime to observe all of this activity first hand. Strictly for reporting purposes, of course.
