Dorothy Hunter, the owner of Paws Natural Pet Emporium is eating only dog and cat food from her store for an entire month. This bizarre publicity stunt was conceived one day when Hunter was feeling famished while stocking her store shelves, did not have time to get human food and decided to try pet food instead. To prove how tasty and nutritious the products she sells are, Hunter has been on this pet food diet since June 19th.
When she first tried it, she felt the pet snacks were even better tasting than human snack foods. Since there has definitely been a range of preferences for different pet foods available at Paws Natural Pet Emporium. Hunter was not a fan of the chicken pate, for example.
