SoHo Says…I dreamed a dream!!

As you know by now, I am a huge Broadway fan!! This blog is titled after the song “I Dreamed a Dream” which is sung by the character Fantine during the first act of Les Miserables. Les Miserables was the first Broadway play my momma ever saw. It is also Brad Goreski’s favorite show – in case you don’t know, Brad is a celebrity stylist and a huge animal lover – he has two rescue dogs. Recently I heard my sisters Coco Chanel and Prada singing this song together. Coco Chanel told me that she is living her dream – outside of that horrible puppy mill she was trapped in for 5 years. Prada told me she is living her dream as an International Super Model (not sure if I told you but her photo was sent to the Prada headquarters in Milan and she received a personalized thank you note as well as a complimentary gift from Prada!). I am also living my dream with a fabulous family that loves and cares for me.

Unfortunately not every shelter/rescue animal is as lucky as my sisters and I and they are still dreaming their dream. If you are looking for a faithful companion and friend consider adopting a shelter/rescue pet and help a homeless animal LIVE their DREAM!

SoHo Says…the sun will come out….

I am a huge fan of the Broadway hit Annie and I am so excited that it is returning to Broadway this fall (tickets went on sale on September 1st). My sisters and I can relate to this musical….we were orphans too, just like Annie, before our “Momma Warbucks” adopted us.

Another reason that I love this show is because the part of Sandy is always played by a former shelter dog. In May 2012, the 2 year old female terrier mix who is playing Sandy in this fall’s Broadway production was rescued by William Berloni, the award-winning animal trainer. This pup was 24 hours away from being euthanized in the Houston shelter she was in and Berloni saw potential in her. Berloni adopted her, flew her to New York and she is on her way to becoming a superstar!

Berloni said it best in an article from the Associated Press titled “Pup to Play Sandy in Annie on Broadway Revealed” by Mark Kennedy: “The most talented animals are right there under your nose,” said Berloni, who makes it a point of using shelter dogs in ALL his projects. “The message is: Animals in shelters are not damaged, just unfortunate.”
