I’m so excited I can barely wait! April 27 is this year’s Mutt Strut – and it’s just around the corner. I'm Chief, Brebeuf’s own “Top Dog.” This year I’m teaming up with my Brebeuf Pack along with this year’s IndyHumane Top Dog Toto to raise money and awareness for orphaned animals in need of a home.

Our own Brebeuf sophomore Sophie Pruitt, along with our RAFA (Raising Awareness for Animals) club are leading the pack and are a perfect example of what it means to live out Brebeuf’s mission to be “Men and Women for Others.” Since age 7, Sophie's love for homeless animals has empowered her to become a foster mom to over 60 animals. In addition, she has raised over $25,000 for IndyHumane – and she's only 16! With your support, Toto can "pass the bone" to me (and Sophie) to become Indy Humane's 2020 Top Dog!

Please join us by making a donation AND walking with us at the Mutt Strut. Dress your pooch in your favorite Brebeuf gear or Oz-inspired outfit. Look for Dorothy, Glinda the Good Witch, and possibly even the Wicked Witch leading the pack with Toto in the pace car. You’ll have to show up to see what costume I will be wearing! We hope to have many new friends like you joining our Toto-ally awesome team! To donate to our efforts, click on the "Donate Now" button on the side of this page so that your contribution will be counted toward our efforts to become Top Dog.

See you at the track as we turn the Indy 500 bricks yellow on April 27!

~Chief (and Toto Too :)
