The second annual Diggity Dog Dip brought about 320 dogs and 600 people to the Onalaska Aquatic Center Saturday. The dogs had the run of the pool on the last day of operations for the summer as a fundraiser for the Onalaska Parks and Recreation Department and the Coulee Region Humane Society. Event organizer Pat Kucera of Diggity Dog Daycare said the event raised about $3,500.
