Society Paws Awards

Dogs in Dresses!

I had the distinct pleasure of attending the First Annual Society Paws Awards this past weekend. In fact I got to present three awards and it was a lot of fun! The event was spearheaded by Bobbi Mitchell. Its purpose was to benefit Yorkie 911 Rescue, and to provide a bit of early fall, afternoon fun.

Summer Strand (seen below with her pooch April Moon) won the “Adah Challenger” award. This award honors ​the person who is “nice, follows and comments on just about everything in the doggie community, posts pictures of their furbabies, and is an all-around loving person in the doggie community.”

  1. A great post about the event and some great fun pictures too.
    I was there also. Tons of fun for the local NY/LI (and beyond) dog community.
    I was a nominee in the Professional Pawtographer category and came ready to party, but when the event photographer got ill and couldn’t make it, Being a photographer, I was asked at the last minute if I could fill in and I was happy to help. I’ll be posting the pictures on my Facebook page over the next day or two.
