Philadelphia Greater Pet Expo Runs Through Sunday In Oaks

By John McDevitt

Philadelphia (CBS) – A horse that does tricks, a rare albino alligator and pot bellied pigs are among the animals that will be at the pet expo in Oaks this weekend.

There will be dog obedience training demonstrations and products for your pet on sale from many vendors. Special attractions like a petting zoo, rain forest reptile shows and a Bengal tiger will be on display.

Show spokeswoman Karen Garetano says Clifford the horse (photo) is a crowd pleaser. He was trained to do dog tricks.

"Either shake a hand or raise his paw. He is very entertaining. People love him."

She says you can bring your well-behaved leashed pet to the expo, too.
