Best Friends Animal Soceity: October 2010 Archives
We received some more photos taken a few weeks ago at the Best Friends Animal Society's
well-attended "Strut Your Mutt" on the Santa Monica Pier (see our earlier post about the Sept. 19 event).
These come from the sharp-looking black-and-white battalion, Border Collies in Need, with funds raised to help with medical costs for Angel and for Ferris, a 5-month-old border collie pup who was hit by a car. One of his rear legs had to be amputated. Both dogs' stories are on the website under "adoptions."
The group raised almost $4,500 at the walk with 23 walkers participating on their behalf.
Good job, guys.
Below is actress Emmanuelle Vaugier with Sundae, who also participated in the walk. Sundae was adopted from Border Collies in Need by Ariella Reisner. These pics turned out so nice that the organization said they might use Sundae for the Best Friends magazine promotion of next year's event.
We'd second that idea.

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.
