Pet Express Doggie Run 2012 at SM

MANILA, Philippines - It was a fun-filled day for dog lovers and fitness enthusiasts as Pet Express, the dog and cat shop, raced for a cause in the “Doggie Run 2012” at the SM Mall of Asia.

Now on its second year, the annual event is considered Manila’s biggest dog running event, and is for the benefit of the Philippine Animal Welfare Society (PAWS), a non-profit organization dedicated to the protection and the promotion of humane treatment of all animals.

Participants not only had the chance to run for health while bonding with their dogs, but were also treated to sideshows, games and raffle contests. A souvenir photo area helped them capture the doggie Rrun experience.
