Dog day afternoon

Gene Mussler watches as his dog, Jake, leaps into the water to retrieve a ball during this year's dog pool party held Sunday afternoon at the city's outdoor swimming pool at Richard Aguirre Park.

Dozens of owners brought their canine companions to the pool throughout the afternoon to enjoy a break from the summertime heat.

The yearly pooch party was the final event held at the city pool before it closed for the season.
