Humane Society of Southern Arizona Puttin' on the Dog

When dogs rule the Earth, life will look a lot like the Humane Society of Southern Arizona's Puttin' on the Dog fundraiser. Skilled chefs will create top-shelf snacks for canines dressed in formal wear. Humans will fawn over four-legged fashionistas as they strut down runways with well-dressed owners in tow. Hordes of animal-loving humans will donate hundreds of thousands of dollars to help homeless animals. Cocktails will be sipped; behinds will be sniffed; and only the occasional chew-toy snarlfest will disturb the prevailing peace. Earth in the time of dog rule won't be so bad after all.
