The Heroes and Hounds event was held on January 6th at Sunsplash Water park in Cape Coral. Three local charities and the Cape Coral police K-9 division combined their efforts to bring a fun, new event to the city and raise money for their causes. Holiday 4 Hereos, The Cape Coral Animal Shelter and the Southeastern Guide Dog school all benefited from the event.

Officer Steven Scrobe of the CCPD coordinated the K-9 competition which included departments from 6 South Florida counties and multiple agencies. The dogs were the hit of the day as they showed off their skills and awed the crowd with their strength and agility.

Peter Kessack coordinated the entertainment and charity part of the event. Music was provided by Rob Roberson and LCEC’s The Killawatts. The primary sponsor of the event was The Gunterberg Charitable Foundation.

What started out as a small charity event turned into a howling success with thousands of attendees and a picture perfect day. Thanks to all who attended.
