It was a howling good time at Dogoween!

Venice’s biggest doggie mixer of the year was a smash! The four legged fur babies came out en masse, with their parents in tow, to participate in an afternoon of costumes, Hungry Dawgz of Dogtown organic and grass fed treats, music and fun.

Venice Paparazzi rolled out the red carpet for a talent stacked costume contest in which the top three in each category: funniest, best family, best in show, and most original, were awarded prizes.

The contest was judged by a well qualified panel comprised of Happy Again‘s Anja Skodda, Celebrity Dog Trainer JOEL SILVERMAN, Bruno’s Alec, and Project Street Dog’s Ursula Vari.

They were serenaded by Buffalo Traffick and Christopher Hawley, and the event was emceed by Venice Paparazzi‘s Alex Stowell. Treats were passed out by Rhonda DeVictor and friends.
