WILDWOOD -- It's not every day that you see dogs gliding down a giant water slide or chasing one another around a pirate ship.

But that's exactly what happened during Morey's Piers' "Gone to the Dogs" puppy pool party at Raging Waters Water Park Sunday evening.

Dogs of all shapes and sizes -- 175 of them -- were in their glory as they happily jumped into the water to fetch balls, paddled around the activity pool, and explored the park.

Spectators lined the walkway above the park to watch the pups partake in all the fun.

Water bowls and free dog treats were stationed throughout Raging Waters, and each dog received a souvenir to take home.

The annual event marks the closing of the water park for the season.
