Saturday is Bark For Life of Tuolumne County at Tuolumne Memorial Park. Dogs are the unnoticed caregivers who give a special kind of support for cancer patients.

Bark For Life is a way to pay tribute to our favorite canines and raise funds and awareness to create a world with less cancer and more birthdays.
