Encouragement From Campus-Texas Lutheran students, dogs pitch in to help their community

Hundreds of bulldogs swarmed across the city of Seguin on Saturday morning.

They collected trash, racked leaves, worked on community gardens and picked up rocks all throughout Seguin.

During the fourth annual "Day of the Dogs," almost 300 students, faculty and alumni took to the streets, creeks and non-profit organizations to help keep Seguin clean, said Center for Servant Leadership director Tim Barr.

"Day of the Dogs gives students an opportunity to learn about the town and meet the people who live here and to just get involved," he said. "Over time this has become a day that TLU students work with leaders in their community to clean it up."

The large group of volunteers were dispatched to about 20 sites around town, Barr said.
