Lois Sheppard drew a cartoon and challenged kids to a Cartoon Caption Contest. Carter Johnson, 11, (below) of Idyllwild, won for his entry, “Hey, hot dog! I bet you can’t ketchup!” The cartoon will be ARF’s “ARFtoon of the month” for the June newsletter. Carter also will receive the framed original drawing with his words printed by Sheppard.

Dogs large and small paraded down North Circle Drive on Saturday morning, June 3, sponsored by Young Idyllwild Inc. to benefit Animal Rescue Friends. A parrot and a pig also appeared though they didn’t march. The first-place winner was Beary Potter (shown), played by Bear and accompanied by Cleandra and Zephyr Waldron, second place was Peanut in a clever coyote vest, accompanied by Michelle Sass and sharing third-place were Gretchen and Wetter. All the animals were well-behaved and seemed to have almost as much fun as the humans. Photo by Tom Kluzak
