Happy Tongue Out Tuesday from these party pups ๐ŸŒŠโ˜€๏ธ Even service dogs need time to let loose! What better way to cool off as the weather heats up than to leave their capes at home and head to the beach. Thanks @campuscaninesubc for organizing this beach party and Bill Ng for the photos ๐Ÿ“ธ #BeachDays #LifeInTheBlueVest Photo descriptions: all photos show a Labrador Retriever running on a beach towards the camera. They all have loose body language, with their mouths open and ears flapping.
