What a great weekend to be a dog in NYC!!  I can’t believe we’re going to be out of town and missing all of the fun…

First, on Saturday, the AKC is hosting Responsible Dog Ownership Day in Madison Square Park.  With demonstrations, discounted micro-chipping, contests and free samples & treats - it’s a dog event not to be missed.  2 years ago Oscar passed his Canine Good Citizens test at RDOD which started his Therapy Dog Journey!  We also won 2nd place (and an AKC breed poster) in “Rover Says” and won a fun squeaky squirrel toy in a dog trivia challenge.

Then on Sunday, join fellow dog owners in McCarren Park for a local canine version of The Amazing Race…with the NYC Doggie Amazing Race.  Laura & Preston of Greatest American Dog fame will be there and possibly some of the other contestants.  There is an entrance fee of $30 (part of which will be donated to a local Brooklyn dog shelter).  You can register ahead of time online or in person on Sunday. 

If you attend either event, please let us know how it went so that we can live vicariously through you!!
