Each year the Humane Society of the
United States (HSUS) holds its annual Genesis Awards so that it can shine a
spotlight on those in the news and entertainment media whose works and actions
have increased public awareness of animal protection issues. It is with great
pleasure that I can say that Modern Dog is a proud sponsor of this important
event. March 19th, 2011, marks the 25th Anniversary of the Genesis Awards and
the  gala ceremony will be held at the
Hyatt Regency Century Plaza in Los Angeles, CA, to celebrate the progress that
has been made on behalf of all animals. For more information, or to get your
