Bring your dog to a dog movie

Now here's a fine idea, worthy of consideration by those who sponsor outdoor movie nights in Baltimore -- a “take your dog to the movie night” featuring a dog movie.

They're doing just that in Kansas City's Penn Valley Park, where an off-leash dog park is located.

The evening starts with a dog fashion show, followed by a dog talent contest, followed by a free outdoor screening of the film “Best in Show.”

By charging a few bucks, this might be a good fundraising idea, as well, for shelters, rescue groups and dog parks.

The event is sponsored by the Kansas City Parks and Recreation Department, the Friends of Penn Valley Park and the Dogpark Improvement Group.

About Jill Rosen

Jill Rosen is a reporter at The Baltimore Sun. During her nearly 20 years in journalism, she has covered news and features — including a surprising number of stories that involved animals. There were the dog Christmas carolers in State College, Pa. There were the hounds who toured with a production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The story of a preschool teacher at Baltimore’s Father Kolbe School who had to replace her class guinea pig, who died over the winter holiday. A harrowing tale of what it was like to make homemade pet food ...

Though her clean freak of a mother refused to allow her to get a dog, she has had a number of pets through the years, including goldfish named Bob and Fingle, a betta fish named Ichabod, a wild rat terrier named Wendel, who she shared with a roommate, and, currently, sweet, sweet kitties named Leo Sesame and Milo Pumpkin and a little rescued pup named Teddy Bean. She, Leo, Pumpkin and Teddy Bean live in Baltimore.
