BUFFALO, NY - Saturday's first ever Ruffalo Stampede not only gave pets and their owners a chance to join the Buffalo Marathon fun, but it also benefited the Buffalo Police Department's K-9 unit.

Proceeds from the one-kilometer fun run/walk will go towards sponsoring a dog for the BPD, in honor of Officer Craig Lehner, who passed away in October during a training exercise on the Niagara River, and his partner Shield.
