Paws
on the Path
 Hawaii's beautiful outdoors speaks to canines and humans
alike! Paws on the Path is a hiking group that helps dogs and their human
companions enjoy nature in the company of others. Hikes are usually on the last
Saturday of each month and are led by Humane Society volunteers. All friendly,
sociable dogs are welcome, and most hikes are easy, low-risk and classified as
novice. Hikes average three miles and take approximately two hours.
Upcoming hikes are listed in the events calendar.
For more information, please call 356-2217. Exercise keeps dogs happy and healthy, lessens stress and barking. Read more in the
Pet Ohana column from the Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
