Miami
The 16th Annual South Beach Wine & Food Festivel (SOBE WFF) included Nutrish’s Yappie Hour at The Standard Spa Miami Beach. Host Rachael Ray donated a year of dog food to any of the Big Dog Ranch Rescue adoptables who were adopted the day of the event. What could quite possibly be the best doggone yappy hour in the state of Florida, the event, which over- looked the bay, was over-the-top spectacular. Celebrities and their dogs min- gled amongst a gorgeous display of food and drink for humans. Especially cre- ated for the dogs: a fire hydrant ice sculpture and doggie treat tower in the shape of a hamburger. Tito’s was a co-sponsor and poured the Vodka for Dog Lovers. With more than 85 events throughout a five-day weekend, the festival
