Dogs on parade: Downtown K9 statues benefit fallen, injured police families

Bob took a few photos while heading to a showing at The Heritage.  200 German Shepard statues placed around downtown have been auctioned off in K9s for Cops event

Downtown has gone to the dogs (waka waka waka!). Check out the story behind the K9 statues all around downtown.  They are more than just cool art.  All the statues were auctioned off to benefit the Chicago Police Memorial Foundation.

Were you a lucky winner? I am bummed that I had not checked into this auction.  These awesome artistic symbols went for reasonable prices. This event may be coming to an end but you may visit and donate at many Chicago Police Memorial Foundation events throughout the year.
