This weekend is going to be off the chain!
Two pet parties are poised to unleash furry fury on Brooklyn — canine carnival BarkFest 2015 will overrun Williamsburg with dogs on the same weekend that cat circus Acro-Cats is set to purr-form in Bushwick. So for the harried pet owner with time to sink their teeth into only one animal bacchanalia, we present a very special tail of the tape.
