The human-animal bond will be working for the Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine once again this weekend as animals help shine the spotlight on the college\u2019s programs and services during Purdue\u2019s homecoming weekend<\/a>. The annual Homecoming Parade will get the festivities started tonight, with the Canine Educators as Purdue Veterinary Medicine\u2019s entry. The group of up to 20 dogs with their student handlers are sure to be show stealers as the canines display their spirit and charm while walking the parade route that starts at State Street by Memorial Mall at 8:00 p.m., and concludes on North Martin Jischke Drive near the Tarkington Residence Hall.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The parade has a superhero theme this year and the dogs and students will be dressed accordingly. Plan to wear Canine Educator swag or PVM attire in support! The students will be handing out promotional items including tennis balls, stickers, and kid-size t-shirts. Leading the way will be two participants carrying a Canine Educators banner.<\/p>\n\n\n
