I was so moved that my friends Emery and Theresa drove to the event from hours away and the won a prize, which they donated back. Here's the story....
THE EVENT - On June 7, the event is called "An Evening with Rob Gutro" was a Benefit for PetResQ of New Jersey. It was held at the Clinton Inn Hotel and Event Center, Tenafly, NJ. It featured a delicious buffet, dessert, coffee/tea, cash bar and I was the guest lecturer. I shared with the audience many ways that our pets communicate from the other side. - I've been doing fundraising lectures for animal rescues for the last year, and this one was quite special because this time a whole menagerie of dogs and cats came through before I went on to speak.
BIG- HEARTED PRIZE WINNING - My friends Emery and Theresa drove a couple of hours from southern New Jersey to attend this event (it was in northern Jersey, just outside of New York City). They are such animal lovers and have rescue dogs. They bought raffle tickets for the cash prize of the night and they won! - Instead of keeping the money (It was over $300), they donated it all back to the rescue. What amazing friends I have. We also went out to a diner afterward to catch up.

THE MANY PET SPIRIT APPEARANCES! - When people came in, their pets in spirit came with them. In fact, there were so many spirit dogs and cats that I couldn't even get their names. At the end of my lecture, I read off all of the animals that were there in spirit to let their pet parents know they're around.
There was a Lhasa Apso, German Shepherd, Black Labrador Retriever and a Bulldog. There were quite a few cats, too. I can't remember them all as I write, but one was grey with white paws, another black and grey, and another orange tabby, to name a few. Everyone seemed to know which was their dog or cat pretty quickly, In fact, several animals belonged to one woman (I can't recall her name).
