Meet the Dogs of Edmonton: Spartan

The Dog City Festival, a fundraiser for Wellspring Edmonton, is scheduled to take place this summer. In conjunction with Champion PetFoods, Avenue sat down with these professional pooches (and their celebrity owners) for a furry photoshoot and to find out what makes them such good dogs.

As a part of our ongoing series, this week we’re featuring Spartan, a 10-year-old Labrador Retriever.
