Foto Friday – Paws for Purim

March 6, 2009 - 6:00 AM by Rachel Neiman

Dogs never demand to be put in a Purim costume. And yet, since dog owners persist in dressing up their four-legged friends, Israeli pet-owner portal Hav-Hav has decided to put them on show. (“Hav-hav”, by the way, is the Hebrew equivalent of “bow-wow”). The fourth annual Hapess Ta’Kelev competition will be held on March 11th, at the Renanim Mall in Ra’anana. That gives Fido a few more days to come up with a costume idea. It’s definitely worthwhile, because the prize is a year’s worth of gear and food from pet store chain Jungle.

But you have to register by submitting photos – and here’s some of the competition. More can be found here.

This royal fellow is a winner from a few years back.

Another winner from previous years… clearly channeling “I Dream of Jeanie”…

Okay, this one may be bordering on the inhumane.

The competition name, by the way, Hapess Ta’Kelev is a play on words with one meaning being something like “dress up yer dog” and the other being “go find yer dog.” Take my word for it – the pun works in Hebrew. And hav-hav a happy Purim, everyone!
