A&W begins Pup Patty promotion
By Rob Bale
Fast food chain A&W Canada has begun a promotion in support of Canadian service dog charities. The initiative makes use of a menu item for dogs called the Pup Patty. It will be available at the chain’s drive-through locations from June 10 to 23. Part of the proceeds will be donated to non-profit organizations including the Pacific Assistance Dogs Society.
“I have been a PADS volunteer for the past two years so this program is very close to my heart,” said Amanda Wang, director of marketing at A&W. “When I’m out with a service-dog-in-training, it’s not just a learning opportunity for the puppy but it’s often a chance to enrich the public’s understanding of working dogs as well. I’m very grateful for the support from the whole A&W organization in running this campaign to help further the awareness of non-profits like PADS.”
