They’re often referred to as “man’s best friend”—no, we’re not talking about penises, we're talking about dogs. Our four-legged companions who snot up car windows and slobber their way into our hearts never judge us, whether we’ve gained 30 pounds due to a bad breakup or had to shave our head due to chemotherapy. They give us two-legged idiots all the unconditional love we could ask for. Saying “thank you” to our canine pals, the American Cancer Society’s Bark For Life fundraising event is a day-long celebration of dogs (not dongs), to raise funds for cancer research. Featuring an agility course, pet-friendly vendors, games for your pooch and more, Bark For Life is sure get your best friend’s tail wagging. (The dog’s tail. Jesus, get your mind out of the gutter.)
