Tomorrow morning, at 10 am, Bonhams (founded 1793), one of the world’s three largest international auction house is having its annual dog art auction.
If you’re a dog lover, go online to peruse the many beautiful and amazing pieces they have on offer. They have everything from statues, antique collars (including one that belonged to Charles Dickens…yes, the Charles Dickens of A Christmas Carol fame!), art work to a quirky Scottie dog heater!
On Valentines day Bonhams even had a charity brunch, the Barkfest, to raise money for the AKCs Humane Fund and to give a sneak peak at all the fantastic art and pieces just waiting for a new home!
Check out Bonhams now!

If you’re out and about in NYC this Valentines day with your dog, take him along to the American Kennel Club’s annual charity brunch, the “barkfest at Bonhams“.
All proceeds go to the AKC’s humane fund, which is a great thing, indeed.
Not only can you and your dog chow down, but you get to sip champagne while perusing fantastic dog art and artefacts on display at Bonhams (to be sold on the following Tuesday!), including a dog collar that used to belong to the writer Charles Dickens!
It’s $50 to attend if you book by phone, or $60 at the door.
And considering all proceeds go to the AKCs humane fund, we say take your dog on a special valentine’s day excursion. It’s going to be fun, it’s going to be fabulous and it’s all for a good cause.
We’ll see you there.
