Dogs Play Cupid At Singles Yappy Hour

It’s a classic tale of unrequited love: boy meets girl in a dog park, boy falls for girl’s rambunctious Rottweiler, boy asks girl out, girl realizes boy likes her pooch way more than her, boy realizes too late he’s in the doghouse, girl breaks up with boy, boy asks for puppy visitation rights, girl asks for spare leash back.

The Perfect Mutt-tini. ¡Salud!

Whether you’re ready for a high-octane summer romance – or your dog is – then “Singles Yappy Hour” benefitting Chicago House is right up your alley. Starting at 12:00 p.m. on Sunday, June 2, romantically-solo dog owners can mingle with fellow singles and their favorite, furry companions over canine-inspired bites and “Mutt-tini” cocktails on the pet-friendly patio at Sidetrack (3349 N. Halsted). We’ll leave the alpha pickup lines to you, stud.

Poochless in the city? Chicago Canine Rescue will be on-site to match the right breed for you. $20 donation at the door. All proceeds benefit Chicago House, which provides housing and support for people living with HIV and AIDS. RSVP now at: P4PyappyRSVP@bettiebombpr.com.
