The threat of rain couldn't dampen the festivities at Doctors Hospital of Sarasota on June 10. 

Despite a slight venue change from the parking lot to parking garage, the hospital hosted a carnival benefiting the Southeastern Guide Dogs. 

Children were treated to games and crafts while the carnival's four-legged attendees cooled off in inflatable pools and mingled with their newfound furry friends.
