MORRIS PLAINS — Terry’s Pet Depot will be hosting a canine casting call for a new book entitled, “The Real Bitches of New Jersey,” on Sunday, May 31 from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. at 1711 Route 10 East, Morris Plains.
“The Real Bitches of New Jersey,” will be the second in a series of “The Real Bitches” photo/caption books by creator/writer, Cathy Comora, (“The Real Bitches of Sarasota”), featuring NJ dogs and their favorite local landmarks. Cathy’s brother, David Comora, is working with Terry Sberna of Terry’s Pet Depot to coordinate the May 31 photo shoot.
“We needed dog photos for the book,” David said, “so I decided to create an event where people could bring their dogs for a photo shoot. I walked into Terry’s Pet Depot, introduced myself to her, and asked her if she might consider having a photo shoot for the book at her store. When I told her the name of the book, she laughed and immediately jumped on board!”
David hired a professional portrait photographer, Renato Sexias, of Renato’s Portrait Studio in Pompton Lakes, to take photos of the dogs. All owners who attend the event with their dogs dressed up will receive a free digital image, and dogs whose pictures are chosen for the book will each receive a free portrait.
David and Terry ask that you please come with your dogs already dressed in a funny costume or fancy dress. “We are primarily interested in dogs dressed as females, but some studs may be included in the book as well.”
