There, they will sit, walk or just do something adorable in a 30-second freestyle and play among the other dogs.
The winning dog will earn the title of Piedmont Park Dog of the Year for one year, starting Aug. 1.
This champion dog will also have the bragging rights of becoming Piedmont Park's spokes-dog, which means that the pooch will serve as the mascot at all dog-related events at Piedmont Park Dog Parks.
