Unfortunately, one of our favorite costumes, the lobster, didn’t win any prize, but we still liked it very much anyway!

All profits from the parade benefited dogs from Canine Companions for Independence. There was an impressive demonstration of what these dogs can do to help people with disabilities on the stage. This great organization raised a lot of awareness of their cause with the parade but more help is needed to train their smart dogs - so please contact them if you can!

Dana, the professional photographer of La Muse Photo, took a lot of great pictures at the event. You check them here (click on “View my photoshoot on the top right of her home page).

Our friend Amy, who volunteered at the Parade, published more pics here.
You can see there more images of the parade, the judges (as the one below, with her wonderful costume), the organizers and all other dogs who have participated to the parade.

And even more photos of the day are available in our Flickr account.

Feel free to post a comment and let us know what do you think of the parade and what your favorite costume is!
