If you live in NY or have the means to get there, why not pencil in February 13th as BUSY and head over to THE PEDIGREE DOG STORE for Yappy Hour, hosted by Wendy Diamond and her dog, Lucky and Animal Fair magazine.

Bring your pup (as long as he or she fits in a carrier) and have fun socializing and mingling while knocking back a few cocktails if you’re legal (you, not your pup).

If you don’t have a dog, maybe you’ll find love the day before V-Day and bring home a new companion to make Valentine’s Day even sweeter.
