Best Spectacle for Charity

Humane Society of Southern Arizona's Puttin' on the Dog

Bathed, nails done, hair coiffed and smelling good, the dogs are ready to hit the town for Tucson's annual four-legged charity event. Heading into the event's 14th year, all mammals are guaranteed a good time at this party, benefiting the Humane Society of Southern Arizona. Tucson philanthropists put their best paws forward with a four-legged fashion show, doggie bags for both dogs and humans, and lots of tasty treats from local restaurateurs ... though you should save the wine for the two-legged mammals. This year's event brought out more than 1,100 people with 100 furry friends, and raised more than $210,000.
