WLBT 3 - Jackson, MS: Pets Just Want to Have Fun

Pets Just Want to Have Fun

Children enjoyed rides and other fun attractions on the greens in front of the War Memorial. And on the street, spirited mutts had a chance to strut in their "own" event. This year's pet parade was quite a sight to see! Dogs of every size took part. Some were dressed top to bottom in green. Others took a more subtle approach. Dog owners say it's a great opportunity to show off their beloved pets.

Pet Owner: "This is Maggie and her cousin Gracie, they're both Maltese. They're our little babies, family. We just decided to come out today.

Pet Owner 2: "This is Titus P, English Bulldog. He's 18 months, and he's a nice guy. He likes to check food bowls."

Each year the pet parade and contest raises several hundred dollars for the Mississippi Animal Rescue League.
