Camel in Philadelphia for clothing line advertising shoot draws big crowd

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- After Pearl the Camel ate their bread and went viral, Kaplan's Bakery in Northern Liberties gave away 100 free loaves Thursday.

Pearl was spotted outside Bourbon and Branch and other businesses on North Second Street on Monday. Sarah McAnulty, a worker at Indy Hall, snapped a picture of Pearl with a Kaplan's hoagie roll sticking out of her mouth - she had just grabbed it off a bread rack.

It seemed to get Pearl's seal of approval.
