"I learned from my dog long before I went to Gombe that we weren't the only beings with personalities. What the chimps did was help me to persuade others." (Jane Goodall, Primatologist and Anthropologist) Hosted last month in West Hollywood, Pawsapalooza Festival & Marketplace was nothing if not an affirmative salute to pet pups and their boundless, forever childlike personalities.
