BOSTON - The Boston Bruins announced today that they have teamed up with The Black Dog to launch the first #LifeOnPaws Virtual Dog Walk to benefit the MSPCA-Angell.

As part of Pet Appreciation Week, the Boston Bruins Foundation is asking fans to participate in a virtual dog walk the weekend of June 6-7. While maintaining social distance, take your pet for a walk and share your photos and videos on social media using #LifeOnPaws to join the virtual party. It is free to register, but donations are encouraged, as every penny will go towards a healthy meal for a pup in need courtesy of the MSPCA-Angell.

Fans can register for the #LifeOnPaws Virtual Dog Walk at this link.

The first 100 fans to register will receive a custom water bottle, courtesy of The Black Dog.

The top five fundraisers will also receive a $100 gift card to The Black Dog.

About The Black Dog:

Out of one sailing Captain's love for the seas, his island home, and of course, his dog, The Black Dog Brand was born.In the winter of 1971, Sailing Captain Robert Douglas first opened The Black Dog Tavern on Martha's Vineyard as the place to be for a good cup of chowder & good company. His canine companion "Black Dog," taking her name from the Robert Louis Stevenson classic "Treasure Island," was by his side both on the sea and on land. The canine's iconic silhouette soon began to appear on t-shirts, sweatshirts, & mugs. Nearly 50 years later, The Black Dog collection has grown to include the highest quality apparel, accessories, dog gear and gifts. They currently operate twenty-seven retail stores and five food service locations in coastal towns from Maine to Florida. Visit www.TheBlackDog.com to learn more.
