Well, it looks like they’re making news in the Big Apple where David threw Elvis a Bark Mitzvah party.

NEW YORK- A New York man says he is so proud of his dog that he decided to throw him a “Bark Mitzvah.”

The party resembled a birthday party or Bar Mitzvah and cost about $10,000 to throw.

The dog’s owner, David Best, describes Elvis as ” extremely handsome, he has a great personality and everyone loves him.”

Asked whether he thought the $10,000 price was too much, Best says that “you have to have a pet, a dog, to know what it is all about.”

Hey, if you got the cash I’m all for showering your pet with special things.  Of course that $10K could have helped a few rescue organizations make ends meet, but from what I saw of David on GAD, I’m sure he’s been donating to worthy causes too.
