n the Summer of 2010, in a Houston Heights neighborhood backyard, 10 to 15 dog-loving friends gathered for coffee, homemade breakfast tacos, mimosas, and some good old-fashioned playtime with all the dogs. "No one would have ever imagined that this backyard dog party full of balls, dog toys, and kiddy pools would be celebrating 11 years as one of the country's largest and longeststanding dog festivals!" says founder & fest creator Hector Garcia. On April 30th at Market Square Park in Downtown Houston, Puppies for Breakfast did just that, and the celebration was one of their biggest parties to date. Hundreds of dogs and their parents converged on the park that morning, moving to the beats of DJ Illset, zooming with other dogs in the signature dog play area, filling their bellies with all of the tasty food from local vendors, delicious coffee from OSO Coffee Co., and unlimited amounts of Puppiccinos. A party isn't a party without good drinks from our friends at Eado Vodka, who provided a VIP
lounge for all of the thirsty dog parents and also helped bring this year's first small dog races with the Eado Vodka Grand Prix. This festival's costume contests are always hilarious and the smallest dog contest would have made your heart melt, as some of the smallest dogs in the city were held up for all to see. And if you haven't met "Chiquito", the world's largest Dog Pinata, you'll probably have to wait until next year, when he comes out of hibernation. Puppies for Breakfast thanks all the many vendors and sponsors for their support: Neue Creative, OSO Coffee, Downtown District, Eado Vodka, Found Realty Group, Sit Means Sit Dog Training, Pudgy's Fine Cookies, Rummy's Beach Club, Houston PetTalk Magazine, Topo Chico, Poo The Rescue, Good Charlie, and Black Swan Screenprinting.
