佛蒙特州Dog Mountain秋季狗狗派对举行 萌犬云集成全场主角
佛蒙特州圣约翰斯伯里——10月3日，一年一度的秋季狗狗派对在佛蒙特州著名的Dog Mountain举行，数百只狗狗与它们的主人齐聚山间草坪，场面热闹又温馨。据《伯灵顿自由新闻报》报道，这场派对已成为新英格兰地区爱狗人士秋季的固定节目。
Dog Mountain由已故艺术家斯蒂芬·亨尼克（Stephen Huneck）创立，占地150英亩，山顶建有一座专门纪念狗狗的"狗狗教堂"（Dog Chapel），墙上贴满主人对已故爱犬的悼念字条，是全美独一无二的爱犬圣地。每年的春秋两季，这里都会举办狗狗派对，吸引各地游客带着爱犬前来。
今年的秋季派对上，狗狗们在草地上尽情奔跑嬉戏，参加敏捷表演、装扮比赛等趣味活动。许多主人带着多只狗狗全家出动，现场宛如一场盛大的"汪星人"嘉年华。组织者表示，派对收入将用于Dog Mountain的日常维护，让这座爱犬乐园长久延续。
亨尼克生前曾说，狗狗是人类最忠诚的朋友，Dog Mountain就是为纪念这份情谊而建。如今，每年两度的派对已成为延续他遗志的方式，也让更多人感受到人与狗狗之间的深厚情感。
Fall Dog Party at Vermont's Dog Mountain Draws Canines — and Their Humans — From Near and Far
ST. JOHNSBURY, Vt. — Hundreds of dogs and their humans took over the meadows of Dog Mountain on Oct. 3 for the annual Fall Dog Party, a beloved tradition for dog lovers across New England, the Burlington Free Press reported.
Founded by the late artist Stephen Huneck, the 150-acre Dog Mountain is home to the one-of-a-kind Dog Chapel, its walls covered with tributes to departed canine companions. The mountaintop sanctuary hosts dog parties each spring and fall, drawing visitors — and their four-legged friends — from across the region.
This year's fall edition featured dogs romping across the fields, agility demonstrations and costume contests. Many owners arrived with multiple dogs in tow, turning the hillside into a full-scale canine carnival. Organizers said proceeds support the upkeep of Dog Mountain, keeping the dog-lover's paradise open for years to come.
Huneck once said dogs are humanity's most loyal friends, and Dog Mountain was built to honor that bond. The twice-yearly parties carry on his legacy — and celebrate the deep affection between people and their dogs.
