PawsAbilities is coming up on March 8-9 and it’s packed full of fun activities for you and your dog. You can compete in the Dog Olympics or try agility. There’s a costume contest, the cutest dog contest, and a parade with lots of great prizes.

WestWind Air Dogs 

WestWind Air Dogs is coming, and you’ll be able to try dock diving! They’ll be offering an open swim, so anyone can bring their dog and try it. If you’ve never seen dogs fly, you have to watch the Air Dogs! WestWind Air Dogs is brought to you by WestWind Kennels and Resorts.

Flyball Dogs Anonymous

Flyball Dogs Anonymous will be bringing their energy to PawsAbilities. These dogs are fast! Flyball is a relay where dogs sprint, leap over jumps, snag a tennis ball out of the air, and sprint back to the starting line.

Meet Luis and Tuesday

Veteran and bestselling author Luis Montalván and his service dog Tuesday will be coming to the PawsAbilities stage, and even better, they’ll be at a VIP brunch on March 9, where Luis will give a presentation. Luis wrote the book Until Tuesday: A Wounded Warrior and the Golden Retriever Who Saved Him. He’ll be signing books both days, although if you come to the brunch, you’ll get to be first in line to meet him and Tuesday and have your book signed. Tickets for the VIP brunch and presentation are $35 and there’s limited seating, so buy yours today!

Bestselling Author Luis Carlos Montalván and Tuesday Are Coming to PawsAbilities

Have you read the book Until Tuesday: A Wounded Warrior and the Golden Retriever Who Saved Him? It’s a compelling story of how a man and a dog found strength and healing in each other. We’re very excited to announce that Luis Carlos Montalván, the New York Times bestselling author of Until Tuesday, and his service dog Tuesday are coming to PawsAbilities!

In Until Tuesday, Luis shares his struggles with his physical wounds and crippling post-traumatic stress disorder after returning from the war. Alone and in pain, he wondered if he would return to a normal life—until he met Tuesday. With his service dog Tuesday, Luis began to heal and find peace, and Tuesday, who had his own issues connecting with people, found the one person he could trust. Until Tuesday is a beautiful story about the love and bond between and man and a dog and how they healed each other.

Luis will be giving a presentation on the PawsAbilities stage and signing books on Saturday, March 8. Then on Sunday, March 9, join Luis for a VIP brunch and presentation.

Tickets for the VIP brunch and presentation on March 9 are $35 and are only available in advance. Your VIP brunch ticket includes admission to PawsAbilities and a priority line to meet Luis at the book signing. The brunch and presentation start at 11 a.m. in the Keystone Conference Center at the PA Farm Show and Expo Center. Doors open at 10:15 a.m.

The book Until Tuesday will be on sale at PawsAbilities, and all proceeds benefit Susquehanna Service Dogs.

We hope you’ll join us for PawsAbilities and the VIP brunch and presentation with Luis!
