June 5, 2017 By Sydney Shapansky Leave a Comment

Woofstock 2017 Highlights

Backseat Barkers coverage of Woofstock 2017

Every year Woofstock is a haven for dogs and dog lovers alike. A place where your pup can try things like surfing, playing in a kibble ball pit or taking to the runway to strut their stuff. Whether your dog is just a pupper or an old boi, a borker or rocking a blep like this sweet wheely squish face here:

Woofstock is a place for any and every kind of dog to celebrate their cuteness on a sunny Toronto weekend. Check out our highlight reel of the festival here:

Our very own Backseat Barker Fishstick looks forward every year to the Running of the Pugs, pug race. He came in 2nd in his heat and gathered quite a crowd of people waiting to watch all the little piggies run their hearts out.

What Happened When We Joined These Dog Doppelgangers For High Tea

BSBWe caught up with these adorable celebrity dog doppelgangers at the woofstock high tea check out our photo gallery

Meet The “Doggelgangers” of Woofstock’s 2017 High Tea

We absolutely can’t wait for the new Backseat Barkers stories and Woofstock this year.

Luckily there was the Woofstock High Tea last weekend to tide us over until May 27th & 28th! The event was held at the beautiful Westin Harbor Castle and raised money for Dog Guides Canada.

Our star Fishstick is no stranger to the red carpet of course.  There was a “Doggelganger” costume contest that had so many charming celebrity pets dressed to the nines to double as their favourite celebrities. Fishstick dressed up as “President Dognald Hump”- though somehow he seems to be wearing that hair even better than the real Donald …

The Competition Was Tough

The adorable PomPom Chewy, came in 1st place as the Weeknd with his new little bro beside him! Again, this dog’s hair was so on point, we were in stitches over the cuteness of it.

Sage of @3furrybeauties brought some serious sophistication, coming in 2nd for her outfit as Audrey Hepburn.

Lucy strutted her stuff, keeping true to her name as the doppelganger of the beautiful Lucille Ball. She rolled out all the stops, not letting her disability slow her down, and took home 3rd place!

About Backseat Barkers

Follow the adventures of The Backseat Barkers- a newly blended fictional family – Mom(Jess 25), Dad(Hugh 28) and the step-kids Fishstick the Pug and Lottie the Border Collie– on their road trip together across Ontario. Like step-kids everywhere, they are both a little jealous, they don’t like the changes in housing, rules and parenting styles and they are definitely not as keen on their new step-sibling as the parents are on each other. And they don't mind sharing their opinions.

We will also share behind the scenes news, tips on travel and pet care, real rescue stories (including Fishstick the Pug) product reviews, and other useful information for millennial pet lovers.
