PLAINVIEW, Minn. (KTTC) – The dog days of summer are upon us and what better way to celebrate, than with a puppy pool party? Tails were wagging at the Plainview Swimming Pool Sunday afternoon and it was all for a good cause.

One Plainview-Elgin-Millville High School senior is giving back to her community before she heads off to college next fall by trying to build a dog park. The puppy pool party was a fundraiser for the cause, charging $10 per tail.

Plainview currently doesn’t have a park for furry friends, and the turnout today was a doggone great example of what the future park will look like.

“Well, right now we don’t have an area for dogs to go and socialize and as a community, having that ability of places for dogs to socialize, will have better effects on our dogs’ behavior, which makes our community safer,” said PEM National Honor Society member Lucero Loyo.

If you weren’t able to make it out today, there’s a GoFundMe page for the cause. They’re hoping to raise $5,000.
