PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania (WPVI) -- Furry friends took a walk in Manayunk for their "Dog Day of Summer" event.

Dogs and their owners got to explore a wide range of pet-centered businesses in the space.

"This is definitely a dog town. There are dogs walking up and down Main Street every single day, so we just wanted to have a fun event for them," said Carla Ferro, Events Manager at Manayunk Development Corporation.

The Pennsylvania SPCA was also there with some adoptable pets in need of a home.

"It's so important for us to get out in the community and meet people, share...our life saving work, and of course, hopefully find adopters, fosters, volunteers and donors," said Lindsey King, Manager of Volunteer Programs at the Pennsylvania SPCA.
