Long Beach Blessing of the Animals, St. Francis Day, Belmont Shore

I was in puppylandia on Saturday. Ran into fabulous photographer Samuel Lippke (check out his great stuff here) at the Haute Dogs Blessing of the Animals, and had tons of fun meeting pet owners and their pawed and clawed friends. There was only a little drizzle throughout the day, but not enough to dampen our spirits. Enjoy!
