It’s a good time to be a dog in Atlanta.

Atlanta doggies get to take a dive each year as fall starts.

For the 7th consecutive year, dogs got their turn to play in the pool at the park.

Splish Splash Doggie Bash allows dogs to swim in Piedmont Park’s Aquatic Center before it’s drained and closed for the season.

Proceeds benefit the Piedmont Dog Park and provide Dog-I-Pot bags for pets throughout Piedmont Park.

This year's doggie bash has passed but for more information visit piedmontpark.org.
