Pooches and their people have a ball at Wag It Forward: A Nonprofit Festival for Pets. This third annual pup-friendly party supporting animal welfare groups starts with the Chase Away Canine Cancer 5K and continues with family- and Fido-friendly fun — think diving with DockDogs, watching 802 Disc Dogs demos and grooving to tunes by the aptly named Burlington band the Dog Catchers. Local food vendors, a mechanical bull and a kids’ fun zone round out the day. This year’s bash boasts a Western theme, so be sure to don your best boots and 10-gallon hat.
