The Good Dog Gala

It seems as if the pet business is surviving the downturn in the economy fairly well. From what I hear the Pet Expo last month in Vegas was the biggest yet and my friends in the business say they are doing OK. Certainly business was robust at the sold-out Pennsylvania SPCA Gala last Saturday night at the Loews Philadelphia. The Good Dog Gala honored six individuals and organizations that have made life better for pets and was a lovely affair.

Here's what set the event apart from other charity functions. You were "highly" encouraged to bring your own dog to the Good Dog Gala!!! So with Amos as my date, we set off for a wonderful evening. Here are some of my photos:

Amos wore a spiffy plaid bow tie!



Some new friends we met at the party. This was during the cocktail hour.



Some more new friends. Some were even dressed for the occasion!



Our dinner partner! At our table of ten there were five dogs!!!!



Amos had a most wonderful time!!!!
