“Dog of the Year” From from the Field

Hazel by the Voting Board

Hazel and her mom Karen were at Summers Point, New Jersey today and she reports the following:

“Great day today for the Dog of the Year board!  Despite the grey clouds, there were a lot of "voters" at Bayfest in Somers Point.  The event had a nice turn out and the dog's photographs drew a lot of attention.  A big thank you to David and Alexandra Farber for manning the board for us.   Hope to see many of you at our CCSPCA Step for a Pet Petwalk at Parvin's State Park from 10am to 2pm tomorrow, April 29th.”

Hazel, who you see in the accompanying photo, is also a former rescue dog, but she is not part of this year’s contest.  Hazel graciously sat, for photos, by the “Dog of the Year” board for a while.  Hazel accompanied her mom for the setup and take down today because her Mom, Karen is responsible for this year’s contest.  If you look close you can see my photo, in the center row, far left.  Tomorrow we pick up our donation boxes and a list of future events.  Keep an eye on my blog site vote tab and as soon as I know where to place the boxes I will publish a few locations as well as a list of events in that area.
