Description
The unstable economy is not just hurting workers, but their families as well -- including their pets. Unlike our suburban neighbors, who may surrender their pets to shelters or abandon them if they lose their house in foreclosure, some city dwellers are giving up their pets because they lost their high-paying jobs and the only affordable place is a "no pets" building.

Come with us to Central Park South to the Jumeriah Essex House as we attend "Celebrity Dogs Unleashed", a fundraiser as unique as it is fancy. Famous people, from Robert Kennedy Jr., Menudo, and Rachel Ray (and everyone in-between!) were given the task of painting fiberglass Labrador Retriever models that best reflected their personalities with surprising results.
