JOIN US for an EXCLUSIVE presentation: &nbsp;&quot;The Making of a Canine Movie Star, Bing.&quot; Owner-trainer &amp; Newton resident, Bev Klingensmith, and movie star extraordinaire, Bing, will be at the Newton Arboretum &amp; Botanical Gardens April 19th from 1 PM - 3 PM. &nbsp;Bev will tell the story behind the making of the movie, The Friend. The Friend starring Bill Murray, Naomi Watts, and introducing Bing is based on the New York Times bestselling novel by Sigrid Nunez. &nbsp;It&#39;s &quot;one of the great dog performances of the last decade&quot; and is a heartwarming human story of companionship. In support of the NABG there will also be a live auction offering SIGNED copies of The Friend, a framed movie poster with Bing&#39;s pawtigraph, The Friend pet kerchiefs, and a large cardboard cutout of the star himself, Bing. All proceeds benefit the Newton Arboretum. &nbsp;Thank you!&nbsp; Your support is invaluable.
