AMA National Specialty in Charleston

Rosemarie & Joan attended the American Maltese Association's National Specialty in Charleston, SC. The highlight was the Rescue Parade with about fifteen rescue dogs participating. The rescue stories were an amazing testament to what these dogs and their rescuers can do. Tony and Oliver were spectacular MMR spokes-dogs. Tony served as comic relief as he barked through the ovations for each rescue dog that took his/her walk around the "Ring of Champions". Oliver got the biggest "aaaahhh" from the crowd, as he pranced around the ring in his cowboy duds. This was a wonderful event, particularly because AMA members are so supportive of rescue and welcoming to all the rescuers and rescue dogs who attended from across the country.
