We celebrate this important, fun and colourful event, but at the same time we make an important statement. Discrimination is everywhere, and despite many advances in society, there are still people being judged on how they look or what other people perceive them to be.
This happens among us in the two-legged world, and it extends to animals too. We all deserve to be judged as individuals and to be proud of who we are, no matter what gender, age, sexual orientation, species...or breed!
Happy PRIDE!
Dayton from Vancouver Island won us all over with his friendly personality and huge grin.
Muay Thai, an agility dog always light on her feet, came as a girlie ballerina.
Walter's smile is almost as big as he is!
Lily showed that even senior citizens can enjoy some rainbow-themed fun, complete with fairy wings.
While June, looking sweet in pink gingham, proved that you are never too young for pride.
Edward is only one month out of the shelter, but already an expert at working the crowds.
Hunter won the costume contest with his Bob-the-builder outfit.
Maggie is the world's most focused Playboy bunny.
Even Jake, the photographer's dog, found some time to make new friends.
It was a long, hot walk, and by the end some dogs were starting to tire. Little Merlot's mom can carry him now...but something tells me she may have a harder time next year when he's all grown up! 
Chica enjoys the frozen bandannas and gel collars that awaited the crew at the end of our march.
Thanks to everyone who participated, volunteered, decorated, and photographed on this fabulous day of celebration!!
