Carlton Fisk Waiting Tables?
Posted by anskyann on January 28, 2009
It could only happen in Red Sox Nation! In mid- November Purina Alpo opened a “dogs only” restaurant on Newbury Street . The restaurant opened for two days only to serve up free dinners to Boston area dogs. During this event Carlton Fisk actually served as a waiter.
“During the season of giving, what better way for Boston dog owners to show their four-legged friends how much they love them than by taking them out for a delicious, mouth-watering meal,” said Red Sox Hall of Famer and dog lover Carlton Fisk. “Our dogs are truly our best friends and there’s nothing they deserve more than a fun night out with other canine ‘can-noisseurs’ at the hottest new restaurant in town.”
The dogs dined on rustic wooden benches with doggie-themed menus and place settings. In addition to being served dinner, the dogs and their owners were invited to have their photos taken with owners in a photo booth. Mass Paws, a Boston area rescue group, also stopped by with rescue dogs available for adoption.
Purina Alpo donated $8000 to local area shelters.
