Traveling Art Installation Heading to Phoenix and Benefiting Homeless Pets

For the first time ever, The Big Dog Show, a traveling art installation raising funds for pets in-need around the country, will be making its debut in Phoenix at Hance Park. The Big Dog Show features 20 eight-foot dog sculptures that groups can sponsor, in support of the Arizona Humane Society, and decorate with their own special flair. Decorating will take place on Friday, October 25 and Saturday, October 26 and will then be on display for the public beginning on Sunday, October 27 at the Howl-o-ween event and throughout the month of November.
