Snoopy of the Dead

Walk-of-Faming the Dog

Coming up on Monday, at 11:30, Snoopy is getting recognized the way that Hollywood has done for a couple thousand folks before him (including several dogs): he’s getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. I’m gonna try to be there (the scheduling may be a little tricky.) If you …
