Cindy Greene and her Dalmatians Murphy and Maeve participated in the Buddy Walk for Down Syndrome held at West Goshen Park in West Goshen, PA. This is an annual event hosted by the Chester County Down Syndrome Interest Group. Cindy’s daughter Jennifer is a teacher and we were all there to support one of her former students. Murphy and Maeve were quite the hit and the kids were fascinated that Murphy has “brown” spots. They were back by popular demand and used their Canine Good Citizen skills to the fullest.
Cindy Greene and her Dalmatian Murphy participated in Science Day at Pennwood Elementary School in Westtown, PA. Cindy and Murphy are active in scent work classes and did a demonstration on how a dog’s nose functions for the second-grade classes. Murphy showed off his sniffing skills and found several hides placed around the room. The students also got a chance to try their nasal detection skills and identify common cooking ingredients found in most homes. The lesson was a huge hit and we have been asked to return next year.
On February 16, 2023, the Delaware Valley Dalmatian Club presented a donation of 6 Pet Oxygen Masks to the Macungie Fire Department in appreciation of their upcoming support of our Fast CAT event in May.
