Puppies for Breakfast Dog Festival Brings the Crowds in Houston

Hector Garcia, from Neue Creative and Modular Dog, delivered another paw-some round of Puppies for Breakfast at Historic Market Square Park on May 13. The annual dog festival was created in 2010 to bring everything dog together for one big dog party, and this tail-wagging fest did just that. Kids swatted a piñata (Duke, from The Secret Life of Pets), pet owners visited vendors and several rescue animals found their forever homes. Plus, the doggy costume contest was bark-tastic. Some of the proceeds from this year's event benefited the local dog rescue service, Animal Justice League. All photos by Doogie Roux.
