If any of our readers ever visit the Metro Detroit area, Ferndale is one of the most dog friendly cities in the area and most of their restaurants have outdoor seating (weather permitting) for the pups to join their people for a meal.  This was definitely the case this past Saturday when Luna, Ryker, my husband and I all took the drive to Rosie O’Grady’s for the Bow Wow Luau fundraiser for Detroit Bully Corps., a local bully breed specific rescue and rehabilitation facility in Ann Arbor.

The party pretty much went to the dogs but the hospitality shown to us by the phenomenal wait staff at the restaurant left us wanting to return another day as well.  We always had our drinks filled, polite service and fresh, cool water for the pups.  The food was amazing as well and the support of Detroit Bully Corps. from the restaurant was an amazing feat with them raising $820 from food, raffle items and other donations.

While we were there enjoying the unlimited pizza and salad for our $20 donation, we were able to mingle with friends and other dog lovers and talk about all things dog-related and all in the name of supporting a phenomenal group that is geared toward helping bully breeds across the Metro Detroit area – many of whom come in severely neglected and abused, injured or emaciated.

We humans were happy to help out a wonderful group that focuses its resources on not only their resident canines but also on community outreach and education in the forms of anti-dogfighting rallies, access to free spay/neuter certificates for pit bulls and their mixes and other programs and the the dogs enjoyed being good breed ambassadors and got spoiled by all of the love and affection while assisting in helping out fellow bully breed brethren and a good cause.
