Would you ever bring your dog to a dog-only Easter egg hunt? Is that a real thing?

The Little River Park in Lee, New Hampshire, says it's absolutely a real thing, which if you ask me, is so 'pawsome'.

It is safe to say that family dogs get just about as much love, attention, and care as human children.

Yes, I am partially biased, as I treat my two mini-bernedoodles like kings; however, I am not alone in spoiling my dogs.

Considering the growing love for dogs, The Little River Park is hosting their 3nd Annual Doggy Easter Egg Hunt, according to an event page.

The Doggy Easter Egg hunt will be on April 8, 2023 between 1:30 pm – 4:30 pm at 34 N River Rd. in Lee, New Hampshire.

Those with a VID (very important dog) experience ticket will receive:

  • A special Easter basket filled with treats and sensory toys for your dog

To clarify one more time, this is solely for your dogs. Yes, humans get to participate by bringing your dogs to such a fun opportunity; however, this event will be a one-mile trail walk with your dog. Your ticket will allow your furry companion to grab up to 24 eggs that will hold a dog treat and perhaps an extra prize slip.

There are a decent number of rules and regulations, including that dogs must be leashed, no more than two dogs per person, dogs must have a rabies vaccination, and more.
