Edmonton... The Royal Alberta Museum invites the public to nominate their dogs to become part of an upcoming exhibition called Wolf to Woof: The Story of Dogs. Opening June 9, the exhibition will trace the history of canines, from wild animals to man’s best friend.
The Best Buddy Contest runs from noon on March 6 to noon on April 13. Dog owners can nominate their pets in three categories: Hall of Fame, Wall of Shame and Best Friends Forever. Participants must submit their dog’s story and a photo. Winners will have their story and photo professionally framed, and displayed as part of the exhibition.
The Best Buddy Contest is presented in partnership with Friends of the Royal Alberta Museum Society. Contest entries are available through the museum’s web site. For rules and additional information visit www.royalalbertamuseum.ca or call 780-453-9100 (dial 310-0000 for toll-free access within Alberta).
