Once everyone arrives back at Country Inn, Manuel and volunteers grill hot dogs, served up with chips and fresh fruit, for lunch.

The dog below found a special spot beneath one of the tables. In this shot, he'd just stolen and devoured a hot dog from the plate in front of him.

Doesn't he look happy?

All's fair when full plates are left within a dog's "gulp" reach.

Here's Manuel's dog Dynomite slurping up some cold, refreshing H20. 











Many, many thanks to Manuel, the volunteers and the residents -- and all the visiting dogs -- for making this grass-roots program such a success. I'm sure it's a lot of hard work to organize, but it has become such a blessing to so many.

About the Bloggers

Daily Breeze reporter Donna Littlejohn has shared her homes with a succession of wonderful, funny, and occasionally difficult canines -- Muffin, Fritz, Ellie, Mercy, Pilgrim and now Cowboy, an Australian shepherd-border collie, and Tess, a border collie. From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.

Josh Grossberg grew up with the usual array of animals: goldfish, dogs, hamsters, parakeets and turtles. He now owns the loudest dog in the South Bay(Video: Rocket the Dog) and is the least popular person on his block. He spends his free time in dog parks, pet shops and always has an extra plastic bag in his pocket just in case. He also has a cat.
