he Ninth Annual Sugar & Champagne Affair came to the Ritz-Carlton on New Hampshire Avenue, Jan. 27, with lucky dogs and their owners and admirers filling the ballroom. The puppy-loving event, hosted by Todd and Ellen Gray of Equinox Restaurant and Salamander Hospitality, showed off the pastry chefs of local restaurants along with sparkling wines, champagne and other libations — all to benefit the Washington Humane Society. Uniformed officers, who routinely save dogs, cats and other animals from neglect or abuse, were there to be honored for the tireless work with grateful canines looking on — and looking for more treats.
