A Michael Jordan Lookalike, For Sure


The rain might have reduced the turnout for the Hometown Pet Show on Monday at Bethany Beach, but it did not reduce the cuteness factor of the People's Choice winner in the costume contest. Rosco, a puggle dressed as Michael Jordan, won the overall prize and also was named Best Pint-Sized animal. You can see why.

I don't have Rosco's owner name or where the two of them are from. I'll try to track that down, but in the meantime, if someone knows the info please send it along to me at jfredel@delawareonline.com and I'll update this post.

Amy Tingle of the Bethany-Fenwick Area Chamber of Commerce says 15 pets showed up for the contest -- including the super-cute Rosco -- before the Leo Brady Exercise Like the Eskimos plunge into the ocean. Proceeds from the pet show benefited Bethany Town Cats and Safe Haven Pet Refuge.

OK, I don't see a number 23 anywhere on Rosco. Also, no bald head. How can he be MJ?

OK, took me a while to dig up the IDs, but that's Curtis Harne of Millville with Rosco. Look for more photos from the Hometown Pet Show in the February issue of Delaware Pets. The magazine starts reaching pet stores, groomers' shops, vet offices, etc., this Friday.
