The evening was presented by Dorothy and Bill Berloni, with music direction by Seth Rudetsky, who also played host to the evening’s entertainment.Stars and their best 4-legged friends turned out with some really clever songs. There were lots of licks, hugs and kisses going on as Bill Berloni tearfully presented Joel Grey with the first annual Humane Society of New York’s Sandy Award.
