There’s a Guinea Pig Picnic happening in Toronto next month

Pups aren’t the only pets that like to play in Toronto, and this September there’s a social event of the season for a different sort of furry friend: the fourth annual, Toronto Pignic.

Yes, a picnic for Guinea Pigs, owners, and enthusiasts is taking place at Greenwood Park this September.
