And just in time for Adopt-A-Dog month, Disney’s new film, Beverly Hills Chihuahua hits theaters October 3. The film is about Chloe, [...]
I liked the show’s concept – but mostly the dogs so much I created a song especially for all the great American dogs out there. Check it out at http://www.musicforanimals.org It’s a free download, it’s fun and it’s for all the dogs that mean so much to all of us dog lovers. Great American Dogs Rule!
