Raising a glass to your dog in Lackawanna County

A winery hosted a dog-friendly festival on Sunday.

OLYPHANT, Pa. — Folks were able to raise a glass on Sunday to their favorite four-legged friends.

Maiolatesi Wine Cellars hosted a dog-friendly festival, called Pittie Palooza Festival, at its vineyard in Scott Township, near Olyphant.

All breeds were welcome, but the event was put together by the Pittie Chicks - an organization that aims to provide homes to pit bulls.

The animal rescue Treasure's Hope even had some adoptable pups at the event.

"It's great for the dogs! It's also great to destigmatize a lot of the breeds. There's a lot of breeds that get a bad rap, socializing, being friendly with people and with the other dogs, so it's really great to see," said Katie McNulty of Clarks Summit.

While it was all about the humans' wine, the dogs could enjoy a pup-a-chino at the festival in Lackawanna County.
