Welcome to Tradeshow Dogs, a place to share photos, stories, and advice about our favorite four-footed friends.
Over the years, as I traveled all over the country visiting exhibit houses and talking to industry professionals, one thing I noticed was the existence of the "office" or "shop" dog.
Almost everywhere I go, I meet a tail wagger or two. Over time, I started collecting photos of the dogs I met and was doing the old fashion thing of pinning their happy mugs to my bulletin board along with recipes and notes from insightful dog owners, and developed my own personal collection of Tradeshow Dogs.
Then things happened (as things sometimes do). My brother-in-law, Dustin, designed a logo for Tradeshow Dogs, then we thought what the heck...let's get a website and we did, then Don with Exhibit City News said he would publish a couple of dog photos for us...and now here we are!
With your help and submittals of photos, stories, and advice, this site can be a fun place to recognize those special friends who sit in the empty suitcase daring us to pack and leave town again, or wait patiently under the desk or next to the door all day hoping for a walk or a little love.
We are eager to hear your stories and meet your friends! After all, one way or the other, aren't we all just Tradeshow Dogs?
