Great Dog Adventure with Cesar Millan and Scooby Doo Comes to San Diego

San Diego, CA, July 03, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Cesar Millan and his Great Dog Adventure hit San Diego this past weekend. The two-day event on June 25th and 26th featured a 50-dog pack walk in Old Town San Diego led by the Dog Whisperer himself, a picnic lunch catered by green company Eco Caters (ecocaters.com), a Cesar Millan Live benefit performance, an exotic animal presentation and opportunities to explore the San Diego Zoo, a book signing, and a giant scavenger hunt with Scooby-Doo. Event sponsors included Best Western, Scooby-Doo, and Veterinary Pet Insurance.

On Saturday, families and their dogs filled Heritage Park in Old Town for a delicious picnic lunch and family fun. Organic catering company Eco Caters provided freshly made wraps, chips and brownies for all the volunteers and event attendees. Eco Caters is a San Diego based company that uses all organic food purchased from local farmers. Eco Caters also subscribes to a “no-waste” mentality, which makes a difference at an event this size. They compost all of their food scraps and never waste any food.

The picnic was filled with dog loving people and their adorable pooches, all set on the sprawling Heritage Park lawn. Heritage Park, managed by Pacific Hospitality Group, is home to stately Victorian homes that were moved there during the '40s in order to protect them for generations to come. The area includes Senlis Cottage 1896, Sherman-Gilbert House 1887, Italiante Christian House 1889, Queen Anne McConaughy House 1887, Stick Eastlake Burton House 1887, Classic Revival Temple Beth Israel 1889, Classic revival and the oldest Jewish temple in the city.

Heritage Park is located across the street from the Best Western Hacienda Hotel – Old Town. This hotel is a great place to stay while you check out Heritage Park and the surrounding Old Town area. The Best Western Hacienda Hotel – Old Town offers a charming atmosphere, convenient location and panoramic views of the ocean, bay and city lights all from its hillside retreat.

It is a very memorable place for a wedding, party, and of course the Great Dog Adventure. The Great Dog Adventure, created by Cesar Millan and his team was the first event of this kind. It featured a contest to win a vacation in San Diego and more doggie prizes. Guest got the pleasure to meet and learn from Dog Whisperer Cesar Millan.
