This weekend a popular wave pool in Waterford is hosting a dog swim event to officially wrap up the season.

Dogs from all over Michigan will get to enjoy a day at Waterford Oaks Wave Pool before they empty it out for the winter. I sure hope they have a heck of a pool filter that can handle all the dog hair.
