In case you missed it, DFWrescueme.com has the whole story of the puppy’s abuse and rescue.

Neighborhood eatery Café Lago, which allows pets and the patio and even has a special menu for dogs, has always shown a soft spot for our furred friends, so it’s no surprise that owner Gabriela Kovacic is hosting a benefit for the organization that helped Justice, in Justice’s memory. Justice’s accused torturer/killer is on house arrest.

The dinner, Saturday, June 2, will feature a three-course meal with wine pairings for $50 per person. $30 of each purchase will go to DFW Rescue Me.

Entertainers will include emcee Sybil Summers from 105.3 FM and the Tri-Tones of Arts magnet High School. A silent auction and raffle will also benefit DFW Rescue. Purchase advanced tickets here. Space will be limited.

Cafe Lago is located at 9219 Garland Road, near White Rock Lake.
