300 Run With The Dogs

The annual Decatur 5K drew a big crowd of human and canine runners.

About 300 people and 60 dogs trotted through Decatur Saturday morning during the Run With The Dogs - Frostbite 5K.

The fundraiser for the Decatur Bulldog Booster Club invited runners to bring their canine friends, and many people did just that.

The run started and finished at Decatur High. Dogs of all breeds trotted down the street, from big labs to tiny chihuahuas.
