I was walking down the Santa Monica Promenade yesterday afternoon, when I spotted a crowd of people wildly snapping photos, pointing, and smiling.  In Los Angeles, where most people treat movie stars with feigned indifference, I thought, “this person must be big, like Brad Pitt or Al Pacino big.”

Almost.

Sonny Ray

It turns out, it was Sonny Ray, a charismatic pit bull with a gift for engaging a crowd.

(PS – Sonny Ray’s website has music, so you might want to turn down the volume on your computer . . .)
