RED BANK: MEET, GREET, LIE DOWN, PANT

Tails wagged and pink tongues slobbered as Dog Days of Summer, an effort by Red Bank RiverCenter to boost evening sales downtown, returned to a stretch of Monmouth Street in Red Bank for a second season Tuesday night, attracting dozens of canines on a hot night. The event recurs monthly, and this year ends with a dog Halloween event in October. (Photos by Susan Ericson and John T. Ward. Click to enlarge)
