Martha Stewart, by now renowned for her love of animals big and small, threw a pet-tacular party for a special taping of The Martha Stewart Show, which airs Monday, Oct. 26. Her audience: owners and their pets, dressed as Greyhound buses (guess the dog) and takeout boxes. Her guests: pugs Francesca and Sharkey, designer Isaac Mizrahi, artist Alison Lewis and associate food producer Courtney Knapp, who made a healthy apple-cheddar dog biscuit recipe from her mom. Watch the clip for a sneak peek of the episode, and check out the dog biscuit recipe below!
