NEW EVENT! Strike a Paws for Love
Photo Contest and Party!

New York, February 11th, 2010.

Ragazzi Life invites you to celebrate dogs' unconditional love with a new fantastic event: Strike a Paws for Love.

This fun event starts on January 11th with a love themed photo contest and will culminate on February 11th with a sexy Valentine's day-inspired party.

Enter the Strike a Paws for Love contest by submitting the most lovable photo of your dog to win a wonderful dog portrait by renowned artist Michele Amatrula. The portrait, a 12x12 oil painting based on a favorite picture of your dog, has a $1000 value!

A panel of esteemed judges will review all photo entries and select the winner based on creativity, dog personality and...love!.

The winner of the contest will be revealed on February 11th at the Strike a Paws for Love Party where dogs will mingle and parents will enjoy champagne and cocktails at the charming Studio Dante in Chelsea.

At the party, Ragazzi Life will also feature canine behaviour specialist Stacy Alldredge who will take the stage and demonstrate two different canine massage techniques. As always, Stacy's presentation will be very informative and, in true Stacy's style, highly interactive so come prepared with lots of questions!

And that's not all...more surprises await you.

Submit your dog's photo now and get the ticket to the party right away, as availability is limited.

We are looking forward to seeing you at the party.

Good luck!
