Halloween Goes to the Dogs, Virginia Ranked #1
Halloween isn't just a children's and people's holiday, a new national survey has concluded. In fact, increasing numbers of furry kids are getting in on all the holiday fun. Big Heart Pet Brands (the makers of Milk-Bone, Pup-Peroni, Canine Carry Outs and Milo's Kitchen) conducted an original survey of 3,000 U.S.dog parents to determine the top 25 states that include their pups in Halloween festivities. If you're a crazy dog lover like me, you'll definitely appreciate these latest discoveries about man's and woman's best friend.
