Last weekend Mars/Pedigree hosted a sneak peek at the movie Hotel For Dogs and celebrated with a post-showing party at the Thoroughbred Theatre in Franklin, Tenn. I was one of the lucky dogs to be there! From the yellow carpet walk and arrivals of the limos to over-sized chew toys, food shaped like dog bones and a play area for the kids while they had doggie prints painted on their faces, I was there and captured the excitement through the lens of my camera. If only Webb could've seen it all; he would've been in doggy-heaven!It all started with the arrival of the four-legged special guests and their handlers. Pedigree has adopted the motto: See The Movie. Help A Dog, and with each ticket purchased to see the movie, up to $250,000 is donated to shelter homeless pets.As you see, at any red carpet event (at this special event, it is pedigree yellow) there are always photo ops in front of the backdrop, and these VIP guests were ready to pose with the best of them.Hotel for Dogs Premiere Of course you always have interviews and paparazzi at these events, like this photo of one of the movie producers:Hotel for Dogs producerAfter the movie, the younger two-legged guests were served doggie treats shaped like bones and with unique canine names after the stars of the movie.
