A huge THANK YOU to everyone who came out to Pups on the Plaza today! It was a truly wonderful day filled with our amazing Dogs on Call teams, fantastic food, lively music, and the best community.

#POTP25 #ThankYou #DogsOnCall #VCU #CommunitySupport #HumanAnimalInteraction #RichmondEvents
A thank you poster for a successful "Pups on the Plaza" event. The main text on the right says, "THANK YOU FOR A SUCCESSFUL." The bottom left has the event title, "PUPS ON THE PLAZA." Two Polaroid-style photos show therapy dogs and people: the top shows a woman in a blue shirt with a brown dog on a chair, and the bottom shows a dog on its back receiving a belly rub. A thank you graphic dedicated to Holiday Barn Pet Resorts. The text at the top says "THANKS TO." Below that, the Holiday Barn Pet Resorts logo is featured on a dog bone-shaped background, with cartoon mascots of a cat and a dog on either side. A blurry photo of a person petting a dog is behind the logo. Text at the bottom explains that Holiday Barn covered the first 200 meals to support a research and therapy dog program.
