I sure can . . . and now's our chance! Dancing With the Stars winner, Drew Lachey and his German Shepherd, Luka, wanna get the word out that every canine can be a celebripup! They're inviting dog lovers across the country to join and show off their picture-perfect pooches by entering themr with Purina's "Picture Your Dog in Times Square". On June 19 all valid photos will be featured on the Reuters/NASDAQ Digital Tower Billboards in midtown Manhattan, giving each pup face time in one of America's most famous intersections.

Between now and April 28, log on to upload a favorite photo of your dog (or dogs), and be entered to win a five-day getaway to the Big Apple with your big (or little) dog. Now, I don't think I'll be able to travel east to catch North's photo but, even if you're not in NYC, you can still see the pups at the country's largest virtual dog park. What's more, real-life dog parks will also benefit as Dog Chow is creating a dog-park grant program - giving away up to $40,000 for the maintenance and upkeep of dog-friendly and off-leash areas. I already entered my budding model, so now it's your turn!
