Things to do in Chicago with Dogs: Chicago's Annual Gay Pride Parade 2013

It's always important for us to support ideas of equality, and our highlight of the summer is attending Chicago's Annual Gay Pride Parade. We love seeing so much of the community banding together, and this year was one of the largest; an estimated 1 million people took to the streets of Lakeview to celebrate.
 People celebrate from rooftops, balconies and the street complete with outrageous costumes, feathers and beads. The parade draws local celebrities like Bozo the Clown and Mayor Emanuel (who actually walked by and awkwardly forced us to shake his hand). Plus all the floats complete with dancers and thumping music. And of course, the dancing cowboys. That's where Mr. B gets his costume inspiration.
We were joined by our pitbull friends: Aggie and Phil (fellow NLOL alumni!). So many people loved seeing the four of them sitting so nicely in a row. Plus, a couple of human friends we ran into.
The pooches' favorite part was when people jumped out of the parade to come meet them.
How do you think the pooches scored all those beads? Their secret is revealed below:
Stay tuned for tomorrow's post where Mr. B shares the video he took from his camera.
Did anyone else go to Pride Events in Chicago or your city?
