Remember that time you paid a hefty room cleaning fee so your four-legged pal could join you on vacation? It's time for your pooch to return the favor.
Balboa Park Central has just launched its "Top Dog" photo contest. The contest is designed to give park visitors an opportunity to demonstrate how much more photogenic their pooch is when photographed in one of the most picturesque settings in San Diego.

- Surf ‘n’ Turf pet room service meal, which features a mixture of beef tenderloin and salmon
- Loews Loves Pets amenities, including dog bowls, dog treats, and Loews Hotels name tag
*Includes tax & gratuity. Based on availability. Excludes holidays and some blackout dates apply. Value is non-transferable. Winner must provide own transportation to and from hotel.
