Here Comes Another Rose Parade!

I'm proud to be appearing on the 2013 Natural Balance Rose Parade Float on January 1st. I won't be performing on the float, but I will be there in my capacity as an honorary Marine to help honor and raise awareness to the incredible canine heroes of Military Working Dogs. The Los Angeles Times just featured a photo of one very special military working dog named Lucca. Lucca lost her leg while on morning patrol in Afghanistan, is currently enjoying her retirement in Finland. She will be riding our "Canines with Courage" Rose Parade float.
Here's a photo of me with Lucca on the float while it was still being decorated. I hope you will be able to watch the Rose Parade on TV January 1st. 

Look for the Natural Balance float to see me...Lucca and the floral replica of the new National Monument to Military Working Dogs. The cost of the monument is entirely from private donations, and three organizations: Natural Balance Pet Foods, Petco, and Maddie's Fund. You can also help support the monument by purchasing special packages of Natural Balance Jerky at any Petco store nationwide. 

The proceeds go directly to fund this incredible monument. So be sure to watch the parade on January 1st, you'll get to see a floral replica of the Monument. Then go out to your local Petco and pick up a bag of these Jerky treats to help us raise money to pay for it.

Thanks and a great big WOOF to you!

Guide Dogs Are Heroes

Have you ever seen a Guide Dog in action? I get to meet lots of them during my travels. In fact, last season of Who Let the Dogs Out, we featured guide dogs in one episode. I went to the Guide Dogs for the Blind school, in San Rafael, CA where I saw these amazing dogs help people become more independent.

This Yellow Labrador is called 'Vegas', he is a guide dog paid for by last year's fundraiser and named by a Petco store team in Las Vegas.

This September is National Service Dog Month at Petco, sponsored by my pals at Natural Balance Pet Foods. Learn how you can support Guide Dogs here. You can donate online at petco.com or go to any petco store in September and donate at the registers.
