Top Dog Gourmet

McLean, VA (Vocus/PRWEB) April 19, 2011

Among the first of gourmet food trucks in Northern Virginia, Top Dog will roll into town on April 22 – look for the big orange truck.

Company owner Dave Adams uses high-end and locally sourced ingredients to transform the familiar hot dog into a Top Dog. At present, Top Dog specializes in two types of dogs. The Sonoran, hailing from Tucson, Arizona, is a bacon-wrapped all beef dog served on a buttery brioche bun, topped with warm pinto beans, caramelized onions, freshly-diced tomatoes, lime-mayo, mustard, and kickin’ jalapeno sauce. The Boss is a Hungarian debreziner sausage – a caraway seed, red pepper, pork artisan sausage – served on a brioche bun, lined with sweet smoky sauce, pickle spear, yellow peppers and onions. And finally some love to the vegetarians – the Not Dog is a brioche bun brimming with warm pinto beans, sliced avocado, caramelized onions, freshly-diced tomatoes, lime-mayo, mustard, and fiery house-made jalapeno sauce. Top Dog sources its ingredients from local businesses to get the highest-quality and best taste.

Says Adams, “I used to work in offices in Tysons and always wished there were more lunch options. I started Top Dog as a way of bringing unique options to an underserved area – and getting to work the grill all day is a definite bonus.” He invites everyone to come out for Top Dog’s grand opening on April 22, 2011. “Wrap up winter and get out of the house. We’ll get the grill going, play some tunes, meet the dog-loving community, and start ushering in summer. Friends, family, vegetarians, and dogs welcome.” The truck, parked in Tysons for lunch and near George Mason University for dinner, will celebrate with some great deals and a Top Dog cake.

Top Dog regularly operates Monday through Friday in Northern Virginia to meet the limited lunch breaks of area professionals with streamlined service and high quality cuisine. Top Dog also caters office lunches, birthday parties, and special functions and is available for festivals and other local events.

Mel was fearful of people when he was first rescued from dog fighting but played well with other dogs at Best Friends Animal Society’s sanctuary.

Kanab, UT (PRWEB) May 05, 2011

Florida Senate Bill 722, spearheaded by Best Friends Animal Society, passed the Florida Legislature today, opening the door for Gov. Rick Scott’s signature that would remove the legal stigma that automatically branded dogs removed from dog fighting busts as “dangerous dogs.”

Previously, the law required that all dogs primarily or in part involved in dog fighting be deemed dangerous dogs, even though they might not have been evaluated by experts. The bill will result in dogs rescued from fighting scenarios being evaluated individually to determine if the dog could be placed or whether the dog should be euthanized. This new legislation brings Florida in line with with a national trend toward individual evaluation of canines rescued from dog fighting busts.

The bill, which had unanimously passed in every committee and in the Senate, today cleared the full House by a 99-17 margin. The bill had bipartisan sponsors and co-sponsors.

“We have been working to remove the automatic ‘dangerous’ stigma from dogs and puppies seized from fighting busts,” said Ledy VanKavage, senior legislative analyst for Best Friends Animal Society. “And although we are pleased with today’s vote, 13 states still have these arbitrary laws. After SB 722 becomes law, we will continue our work to remove the designation in the other states as part of our national pit bull terrier initiative.”

SB 722 provides local authorities with the option to conduct individual behavioral evaluations of all animals seized from dog fighting busts and to determine if the dogs can be rehabilitated and adopted. The individual evaluation is not required, but an option for animal control officials.

“This is a victory for the victims of cruelty rescued from the horrific conditions of dog fighting,” said Gregory Castle, chief executive officer of Best Friends Animal Society. “We trust that Gov. Scott will sign the bill into law so that these dogs, where appropriate, can eventually be adopted into loving forever homes.”

VanKavage, a nationally respected expert on pit bull terriers and reckless owner/dangerous dog legislation, testified last month in support of SB 722. Other animal advocacy groups, veterinarians, and rescue groups voiced their support for the bill by highlighting their work with dogs seized in fighting busts.

Additionally, Dolly, an AKC Good Citizen certified pit bull terrier believed to have been used as bait dog, paid a special recruiting visit to the capitol.
