The 2019 Monessen ‘Puppy Up’ Walk was held on Saturday, Sept. 7. This fun event took giant steps in promoting awareness and raising funds for cancer research to benefit both pets and people.

Linda Magnone and her beloved pup ‘Pookey’, a 2-year nerve shield cancer survivor who is 11 years old. She, her husband Bill helped lead the walk that day.

In addition to a 2-mile walk, the event featured more than 30 animal and non-animal vendors, a Memory Tree, bubbles in honor of lost loved pups, dog-related raffle baskets, music, and food.

Rev. Michael Crookston of Epiphany of our Lord Catholic Church in Monessen, performed the dog prayer service, and blessed pups individually afterwards.

“Being involved with Monessen PuppyUp helps us to ensure that canine research can continue with our efforts at the walk and by spreading the word,” said Roberta Boso, PuppyUp Committee Member. “At one point or another, I believe each of us has had to deal with cancer unfortunately.”
