Come and See What dogs Can Do: First Ever DOG GONE SMART EXPO at Penn Plaza pavilion Features Canine Exhibitions and Super Shopping
New York, NY (PRWEB) February 9, 2006
The westminster kennel club Dog Show confirms a dogâs poise and beauty. But the DOG GONE SMART EXPO shows what dogs are really bred to do. Dog owners and animal lovers alike can witness dozens of canine exhibitions and shop for their favorite merchandise at Manhattanâs first ever DOG GONE SMART EXPO to be held February 13-14 at the Penn Plaza Pavilion at the Hotel Pennsylvania (401 Seventh Avenue). Founded by Chris Onthank, owner of the Dog Gone Smart canine center in Norwalk, Conn. and Bill Blair, Chairman of the Progressive Dog Show, this free, two-day event will be a delight for families, tourists, Manhattan dog owners, and anyone who wants to learn a lot more about our four-legged friends.
âMost of us have seen how guide dogs help the blind, but did you know that dogs can also be trained to help people with limited mobility?â said Chris Onthank. âOur canine friends can be trained to perform a variety of jobs, and the EXPO is designed to educate and provide people with a first-hand glimpse of what dogs are bred to do. Aside from the personal benefits that come with canine companionship, dogs can perform an array of services that truly help many people everyday.â
