It may no longer be “the dog days of summer,” but it sure did look like it at the Ole Hanson Beach Club this weekend.
The dogs came out to play — or rather, swim — on Saturday, Nov. 22, for San Clemente’s annual “Doggie Dive,” bringing together pups and their humans before the pool is closed for winter maintenance.
Plenty of splashes, prizes and treats — and even a pie-eating contest — abounded at the dogs only-pool party. The human enjoyed the fun from dry land.
