Proud American Day's held it's annual Pet Parade and contest on the Village Commons Saturday morning. Canine parade goers came in all shapes, sizes and breed, some in costume and some "au natural."

Winners include "Cody" for most patriotic dog and "Sophie" for best costume. Best owner/pet look-a-like went to Evan Dluzak and his dog Largo; they dressed as Hershey bars.

We were there to capture the doggies in action. See if you can find your pet or favorite dog in the photo gallery.
