Karen and Eli When Karen adopted Eli from craigslist five years ago, he had already had two homes at the age of year and a half, needed knee surgery and had a tapeworm. Six months later, Eli came came out of his shell. After entering Eli in the Barking Beauty Pageant, at which he aced his talent, Karen kept entering him in contests, which he won. The most prestigious of these was the MilkBone contest, where Eli got to appear on the cover of the box. Eli has since become a model with many TV, film, media and commercial credits. Karen and Eli can often be seen on the red carpet at fundraisers and events in the City, are regular donors to animal shelters and have raised almost $10,000 for the American Cancer Society, whose dogwalks they attend each year.
