Off we went in the car! We got to a place I've never been to before! Mom and Dad had a table and chairs, and they put out my water bowl and they had a bunch of biscuits. Then all these people and dogs came by - lots and lots and lots! There were Dalmatians, and Dobermans and Great Danes and a St. Bernard! There were poodles and yorkies and bulldogs and terriers and lots of Goldens.
There was a pit bull named Spice Girl. She was nice, we sniffed and wagged. She was very gentle and sweet. She needs a home, right now she is in a foster home, MY foster home with the nice lady. She has a problem with one eye. I hope that doesn't mean no one will love her, she's awfully nice. There were some dogs who sort of looked like me! HEY, do I know you? Are we cousins?
Lots of dogs drank from my water bowl, but that's okay. I don't mind. And the people next to us gave me some peanut butter treats! I saw my foster Mom and other people I used to know a long time ago, before I found my family. Mom told me what a good boy I am. She did that a lot.
We were there all day. Then everyone packed up and went home. Yay, suppertime! I took a shortcut home, though, 'cause I was awful tired. Big day, but it was fun!
Dogfest2014, in Bergen County, New Jersey. It was our first time at such an event, so I was a novice trying desperately to learn the ropes. Harry was a complete angel, as usual and rubbed noses with dozens of dogs in all shapes and sizes.
We sold a few books (20% of profits go to "Almost Home Dog Rescue of NJ" Harry's alma mater) - I hope those who have a copy enjoy it. For kids ages nine and up, it is a fun read and a great gift. Isabella, Julia and Sofia, have a good time with it and keep your happy meters going. Many, many thanks to all the people, youngsters and adults, because each time you buy a book you are helping a rescue group. Spread the word and if you have the time, write a review on Amazon. That will help Harry become more popular. We are very grateful for your support. Jethro, you too! Let's make Harry Spotter a household name!
