Sunset Park went to the dogs Saturday as people and their pooches participated in The Animal Foundation’s Fast & Furriest event.

The event, a benefit for the foundation, featured a 5K run and 1-mile walk, and a festival featuring dog contests, including best trick, best costume and pumpkin eating competitions, pet adoptions, and a beer park and food trucks for pet owners.
