D.C.’s Shaw neighborhood is known for its vibrant nightlife, and Whitlow’s DC has become an important part of this scene. But beyond offering great food and drinks, Whitlow’s is also stepping up to make a difference in the lives of at-risk dogs, thanks to the efforts of its owner, Jon Williams.

“Cujo’s a rescue,” she continues, swinging her feet in the sky, “so we don’t know for sure, but my sister thinks part husky, part shar pei. Half-and-half, like me!”
Cujo is also, apparently, half green and half glowing. He wiggles happily in a play-bow. It’s very cute, except for the way he’s the size of a small house.
Krypto’s tough, though. He barks and chases his new friend through cloud cover. Gamely, Cujo flees. They frolic in the chilly condensation, occasionally poking a head out before diving back in, like a fox in a snowdrift.
