Put your lunch break plans on hold, or call your dog-walker stat: Your pup is invited to Barkfest to make its paw print on history at the world’s largest paw-painted mural at Madison Square Park today, between West 24th and 25th Streets from 1-5pm. This afternoon couldn’t be more perfect for some R&R outside with your pup, with the unusual combination of sunny skies and low humidity.

After you and your little Pawcasso make your marks on the masterpiece, the fest continues at the Wellness TruFood wagon, featuring free farmer’s market all-natural pet food. While your hip doggie noshes on superfoods, you can enjoy live folk music and chalk artist drawings. You can even put your pup to the test with the pet agility course and prize wheel—find out if Lassie was actually paying attention in training school or if she was just there for the milk bones.

If you need an additional excuse to play hooky with Fido, tell your boss you have a doggone good excuse—Wellness Natural Pet Food is donating a bag of pet food to shelter pets nationwide for every paw and human handprint placed on the mural.
