Think vendors, food, community, and LOTS of dogs. Bring your own pup and come spend the day with us!
Each nonprofit gets ONE dog to represent them.

🐾💛 Meet Radar Love 💛🐾
For 14 long years, Radar Love had only ever known one family. Over the years, he was passed from one person to another, each one trying, each one loving him in their own way, but each one struggling with their own life challenges.
In his last years, his world became very dark. He didn’t know when food would come. He didn’t know what was coming next.
For a dog like him, that kind of life is especially hard. He was made for movement, for routine, for connection. Instead, he had uncertainty and isolation.
There were times he almost didn’t make it. His eyes were dim, he didn't have much strength left...
But love is powerful, even when it comes from unexpected places.
People who didn’t know him started to notice. They saw him getting worse and they refused to ignore it. They kept reaching out. They kept trying. They didn’t give up on him.
It took a village to change his story.
We also recognize the reality of mental health. This is not a story about blame. It is a story about how hard life can be and how, sometimes, love means trusting someone else to step in. We are so grateful that trust was given to us.
Now he is safe. He is cared for. He is learning what love really feels like when it is steady, when it is present, when it doesn’t disappear.
👑 Now he has a chance to be crowned Day of the Dog 2026 King
Every single vote is love in action
Each $1 vote supports the Killuminati Foundation
And if he wins, that $500 will go directly to helping more dogs who are still waiting for their chance
Let’s show him how powerful love can be when a whole community stands behind him 💛
