Since you have to walk the dog anyways, maximize your multitasking and take the whole family on a stroll through Rittenhouse Square Park this Saturday for the Fourth Annual Commerce Bank Carnivale of the Dogs. This wildly popular “doggy day” is a fun-filled yearly party devoted to everything canine. Kids and dogs will be delighted by the array of activities, including dog water bars, animal acrobatics and puppy paw-reading fortune tellers. An action-packed afternoon, the festival will ensure that your tykes are entertained (think doggy costume parades), educated (picture health and training tips from behavioral specialists) and encouraged to be philanthropists. (The Penn Vet M.A.S.H. tent invites kiddos to help repair stuffed animals.) But, parents, beware: The Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society will be on hand with adoptable dogs, so have your “no more pets” speech ready, and you’ll survive this event stress-free!
