My Dog Loves Central Park Country Fair October 18, 2008

City canines and their two-legged companions will want to come, sit, and play at the My Dog Loves Central Park Country Fair, presented by Rachael Ray Nutrish.

Activities include an agility course, interactive maze, musical chairs (for pets and owners), dog tales storytelling, photos with your pooch, a pet psychic, activities for puppies and senior dogs, an "Ask the Vet" booth, micro-chip clinic, service dog demonstrations, and great giveaways! Does your pet have a trick up his paw? Show off at an open "pet tricks" casting call with crew from The Late Show with David Letterman.

The popular Best in Park Dog Show puts pups tail to tail to see who displays the best canine behavior during "WALK WITH ME," "SIT AND GREET," and "RELIABLE RECALL." Celebrity judges will help decide which four-legged competitor best embodies the characteristics of a good Central Park citizen.

To view a complete schedule of events, register as a volunteer, or register your pooch for the Best in Park show, visit http://www.centralparkpaws.org/. Hosted by the Central Park Conservancy.
