Which doggie has the Best Ears in San Francisco? Which pooch has the Best Bark, does the Best Trick or the Best Look-Alike Duo?

A fundraiser for McKinley Elementary School (a K-5 public school at Castro and 14th Streets), DogFest 2012 is a mutt-tastic festival at one of the most dog-friendly parks in the city.

There’s a dog parade, a silly dog comedy and stunt show, a carnival, and celebrity judges that include Dave Eggars, Daniel Handler (Lemony Snicket), Jane Wieden of the Go-Go’s and more.
