COEUR d'ALENE - The Kootenai County Dog Park Association wants you to "Give Your Dog A Bone."
The fundraiser has brought in nearly $5,000 since the citizens group began selling engraved brass bones in January 2010.
Dorothy Hatch, association secretary/treasurer, said they've sold about 175 of the permanent memorials for four-legged friends.
For $30, a pet owner gets two lines, 20 spaces each, to leave a message like "Buddy Fur-ever," "My Best Friend," or "Goldens Rule."
The brass bones are displayed at the pavilion at the dog park, "Central Bark," at Atlas and Nez Perce, and will also be going up at the Cherry Hill dog park, too.
Proceeds go to maintain and build more dog parks in Kootenai County.
