From 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., the museum breaks in its 12,000-square-foot addition with activities centering on the new "BowWOW!: Dogs in Art" exhibition, and it's a bark day indeed. Kids can meet a police dog from the City of Mesa K-9 Unit, learn about the Arizona Search Track and Rescue Volunteers, and win raffle prizes from Happy Dog Toys. And for a souvenir you won't find in most museum gift shops, pups will be available for adoption from the Arizona Humane Society and Fast Dogs Fast Friends Greyhound Rescue.Museum admission is $3.50.
