Puppy Power by Amanda MacLaren There was no shortage of adorable pups at this year’s Barktoberfest, a fundraiser to benefit the Coalition to Unchain Dogs, a nonprofit that works to help local families in underserved communities access critical services for their pets. The event featured contests – including best trick, a costume and kissing contest – games, several raffles, a photo booth, pet vendors, food trucks and local beer and cider at Durham Central Park. More than $12,000 was raised for the organization, which has built fences for more than 2,100 dogs and provided spay/neuter surgeries and other medical care to nearly 4,300 pets since its founding in 2007.
