Pomeranians Guido (left) and Gambino enjoy a frozen soy treat during the Aug. 12 “Summer Pooch Party & Ice Cream Social” at Muttropolis, 7755 Girard Ave. Games and health tips were offered, along with cool treats for both four-legged and two-legged attendees. During the “dog days” of summer, the sun rises and sets with Sirius, the “dog star.”
