There will also be a myriad of other activities such as doggy TRICKS-N-TREATS competition, professional photo portraits for pups and their owners, and tons of great raffled prizes generously donated by local Brooklyn establishments.

You have four more days to cut, sew, glue, and practice tricks. There is no registration fee, but only the first 50 arrivals will become contestants, so get there early.
