New Orleans, La - The French Quarter streets were full of dogs on Sunday for the 10th Annual Krewe of Barkus Parade. Dogs dressed in tutus, top hats and other colorful costumes marched through the Quarter with their owners.
This year's theme was ‘Tails and Tiaras, Here Comes Honey Bow Wow. The Parade is always a fan favorite with dog owners and their pets.
"It's wonderful, raises money for all the local shelters and it's a beautiful time for everybody to come out and enjoy the dogs and she just has a great time every year watching," says parade goer, Diane Baker.
