On The Cover
Congratulations to Ben, Jes-
sie & Red
owned by Paul and Carole
Urban, for winning the 2018 PBGV-
CA Photo Contest! The trio’s winning
entry comes from the ‘Senior Spot-
light’ category. Most of us who have
been involved in the club for awhile
are familiar with the Urbans’ pack of
happy hounds as they are a tremen-
dous source of entertainment during
the companion events! But they aren’t
just accomplished entertainers and
models...these hounds have a tremen-
dous number of accomplishments and
titles at both ends of their names!
