42. Dogs in the Hood

On December 6th I attended the 2009 Dogs in the Hood A Holiday Extravaganza fund raiser/CD Launch Party at the Hollywood Center Studios in surprise? Hollywood.  What?  You weren't surprised.

Immediately I was impressed to be on the Hollywood Center Studios lot where such legendary movies as "When Harry Met Sally" have been filmed.  That's right!  I'm a girl.  Guys may be impressed that the movie, "I Love You Man", was filmed there.  Or maybe that's just me again.  In a way it doesn't matter as public tours are not available on the studio grounds.  The only way public is allowed in is if they are part of an audience for a show being taped at the studios.

Inside one of the sound stages the hosts of this event had set up tables for vendors, CDs available for sale, refreshments, the Rescue Work of New Leash on Life, In Defense of Animals and The Daddio Collective Urban Sanctuary Initiative.

I arrived a little late walking into the midst of some holiday songs being performed by a group of young singers entertaining those in attendance.  It was fun to see all the dogs who were lucky enough to have their owners bring them to this event.  Some were dressed in holiday costumes.  The dogs that is.  Set up at the event was a red carpet for the dogs.  For this event the dogs were definitely the stars, as the dogs received doggie bag swag from Healthy Spot LA of Santa Monica.  There was a best holiday costume contest.  The winning dog was awarded a trophy.  It was all very adorable.
