the dog Days of summer

Mike Kintner is used to putting in long hours and sorting through tough issues.
But the president of O’Neal & Prelle in Hartford, Conn., recently undertook his most unusual and, as it turned out, stifling assignment: He donned a hot dog costume and hawked wieners
at Bushnell Park.
The project came as a mandate from Kintner’s employees, who were cashing in on the hour of his time they recently purchased for $125 at a recent auction conducted by the Advertising Club of Connecticut.
