A relatively new event series, Yappy Hours have attracted hundreds of animal/human couples for each installation. Historic candy shop Kilwins jumps into the action by dipping puppy biscuits in puppy-safe white chocolate ($1 for a small bone, $2 for a larger snack), that way Fido has a sumptuous reward while you chomp your candied apple. Boutiques like Herringbone & Hound replace hydrants as the meeting place du jour; where else can you shop for luxury labels while Rex sniffs the matching, four-legged versions? Of course, the serious tail-wagging happens at the Riverside Hotel. Thats where author JoJo Harder will be signing copies of her latest book Diva Dogs: A Style Guide to Living the Fabulous Life. Whats that? You want to enter the dog/human look alike contest, but all youve got is a lousy goldfish with a lazy eye? No worries. Humane Society will be on site doing pet adoptions from 6 to 9, so you might just find your next great love waiting for you, tongue askew. Get the rundown at mylasolas.com. Start scouting potential four-legged suitors at humanebroward.com.
