GUND puppies sit on the bar at Applebee's at 3501 S. Rainbow Blvd., where patrons can donate money to the Clark County Fire Department's Critters for Kids program. Money collected during the drive goes toward the purchase of the cuddly stuffed animals that firefighters give to children traumatized by an accident or a fire throughout the year.
