Senor LunaBully’s Pizza Party!
At Kochanski's Concertina Beer Hall, this gathering honors Bully, a dog rescued after spending his life isolated and chained. In the months since his rescue, three veterinarians have diagnosed him with aggressive, inoperable cancer and given a prognosis of three to six months, so his foster family is keeping him comfortable while making every day count. The celebration focuses on showering him with affection and his favorite treat... pizza. Attendees can enjoy slices and receive a memorial keepsake to take home. A raffle and bake sale will raise funds for his end-of-life services. Guests may bring his favorite treats or bones, and even a brief visit to share some love fits the spirit of the day, helping Bully feel like a superstar.
