If you live in Long Beach, California, you probably recognize the name Justin Rudd. He started a grassroots movement that culminated in the founding of Rosie's Dog Beach, and formed a non-profit organization that puts on approx. 38 events per year, many of them promoting animal causes. A Haute Dog Howl'oween Parade, Blessing of the Pets and Bulldog Beauty Contest are favorites. In addition, Thanksgiving Turkey Trot, Family Fun Ride, National Adult Spelling Bee, 30 Minute Beach Cleanup, Sidewalk Chalk Art Contest, and many other events keep the Alabama native busy and the public entertained. People travel hundreds of miles and come from other states to participate in some of his events that have been featured on the Tonight show with Jay Leno, national network news and a variety of magazines and TV shows.

Justin Rudd is a special person who shares his contagious passion for having fun with his partner, Ralph, his bulldog pets, and thousands of people who come to celebrate the many events that this energetic guy has created or taken on, including the Long Beach Beauty Pageant for young women.
