There were Yorkies, a French Bulldog, a Basset Hound and others, and whether they were there to show off or just hang out, these dogs and their owners were having a great time at Dogs’ Day in Dade City.

People came to Agnes Lamb Park from all over to enjoy the festivities, which included a dog wagon parade, a costume contest and other activities. Event-goers also had the chance to see a presentation of the colors by the Pasco High School Navy JROTC color guard and to hear a rendition of “The Star Spangled Banner,” by Stephanie Morrow, a member of the Calvary Assembly Church of Dade City.
