Just a few short days after the grand opening of the Brooklyn Heights/Boerum Hill PetSmart on Atlantic Avenue, the Banfield Pet Hospital will mark its own grand opening with a “hottest dog” contest.
On Saturday November 12th from 11am to 1pm, you can swing by the PetSmart to join the competition (winners will receive a free year of veterinary care), eat a hotdog, and meet competitive eater (and Nathan’s Famous Fourth of July Hot Dog Eating Contest winner in 2007 through 2011), Joey Chestnut.
The Banfield Pet Hospital is located within the PetSmart at 238 Atlantic Avenue between Court St. and Boerum Place.

I’m just kidding. Obviously this is a bear, but one of the things I love about this photo is that if you don’t look too closely, this could easily be a dog floating on the surface of a river. Just look at that face!
The photo is an entry in this year’s Veolia Environnement Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition. The winners and runners up are now on display at the Natural History Museum in London. It’s a great exhibit; I highly recommend checking it out if you find yourself in London sometime before March 11, 2012. There is also an online gallery, but trust me, it’s not the same.
I love the light and shadows created by ripples on the water’s surface. Sort of makes me want to float along beside him. Except that he’s a bear and would probably eat me.
