New this year, posh pooches will be able to take a break from the summer heat in the private oasis of the VIP (Very Important Pooches) Lounge, where cool canines and their power-shopping owners will be ushered in by a doorman to "paws" for a while and relax on comfortable lounge sofas - and of course specially designated VIP cushions. Anyone can gain access by joining the Woofstock VIP Club at http://www.woofstock.ca. It's free to join, and full of perks, including the opportunity to win a trip for you and your dog to New York City! Join now!
