Puppy Love Story

SF Dog Guide 2007

It began with a simple question: How much for that doggie in the window?

From then on, the two of you were inseparable.

You spent your days shopping for chic parkas and personalized charm tags at Osso & Co (501 Broderick Street; 415-447-8543) and nibbling gourmet scooby snacks and slurping happy tail ale at BYOD happy hour on Wednesdays at Cafe Pescatore (2455 Mason Street; 415-561-1111).

You joined the right brag boards on urbanhound.com, stuck to Jeffrey’s Natural Pet Foods (1841 Powell Street; 415-402-0342), and got plenty of exercise in the park. 

Then suddenly, Pookie’s spark started to fade! Could depression be setting in? Was it too much pressure to be the cutest dog in the world?

You immediately booked an appointment at Winnie’s Center for Holistic Veterinary Medicine (2343 Fillmore Street; 415-563-6700) for acupuncture and herbal therapy. The wait was agony, but she came out tail a-wagging.

To document your undying love, you had black and white doggie portraits taken by Kendra Luck, vowing never to take puppy for granted again.

And the rest, as they say, is history.
