IRVING PARK — More than two dozen items are on the auction block to raise money toward a dog park in Horner Park.

The online auction features everything from a sundae station donated by Black Dog Gelato to a tour of Atlas Brewing. Both Cubs and White Sox tickets are for grabs, and fittingly so are a number of pooch-related items and services, like dog walking and the chance to play "vet for a day."

Bidding is simple: The auction is posted to Facebook — just click on an image for information about the item or service. Minimum bids and raises are listed. If you want to bid, name your price in the comments.

To date the Horner Park Dog Friendly Area Committee has raised $68,000 toward its $150,000 goal. The proposed dog park would take up a fenced-in acre of space in the southwest corner of Horner Park (Irving Park Road and California Avenue).

The online auction is open through 9 p.m. Sunday.
