Being in the doghouse took on a whole new meaning at Raise the Woof, a gala for the MSPCA, held at the Boston Center for the Arts’ Cyclorama.
All the hottest bitches were there, with their owners in tow, among them studly architect David Hacin and his handsome other half, Tim Grafft, and their schnauzer, Walter, auburn-haired humanitarian Sherry Sturino and her adoring husband, Otello, Chestnut Hillion Gale Minot and the adorable Cody, uber philanthropists Lori and Matthew Sidman with their non-human offspring, sizzling blonde Dianna Reza, the always radiant Julie Hume Gordon, political firecracker Deb Goldberg with silver fox Michael Winter, latter-day Brenda Vaccaro Wendy Goldstein Pierce, power couple Stephanie and Greg Loeber and her parents, the Schonmetzlers, luxury car pusher Kevin Bugbee, blue-blooded restaurateur George Lewis and the captivating Claudine, the drop-dead-gorgeous Jessica Nigrelli and the debonair Andrew, and so on and so forth.
The cocktail setup was a bit of a cockup, especially when dogs and leashes were added to the equation. But once guests followed the paw prints stenciled on the floor through a giant cutout of a doghouse and into the dining room, there was the cleverest ploy to get everyone to sit down: a continuous loop of people in a dog park, admonishing their pets to “Sit!”
The evening’s funniest comment, to a man who was there without his husband: “Oh, he let you off the leash for the evening?”
