The Plank was walked by all pups to prove their skills to rule NJ with Captain Topino. Notice how turbulent waters were filled with alligators and sharks.


We learn from Topino's pawty:

1. Choose a theme to make the pawty even more fun!

2. Ask your guests to dress up to the theme. This can make great photos to be used later on for any ocassion greeting cards.
