Hannah Danes (top left) and her mom, Jackie, swim with their dog, Maximus, during the eighth annual Doggone Pool Party at Spotsylvania County's Loriella Park pool on Saturday.

Other local public pools hold similar events for dogs and their owners as the pools prepare to close for the year.

At Loriella's pool, Mike Bussey keeps cool with dogs Hunter (left) and Forest. Bussey brought a third dog, Katie, to the popular event as well.
