Herndon Fortnightly Library, Bark ‘N Bubbles Dog Grooming Salon, Spa and Boutique and the Council for the Arts had its third annual Dog Costume Parade in honor of October being Adapt-a-Dog month.

It was a day full of trick-or-treating with your dog and “silly tricks” contests. The dogs were indulged with cheers and applause from the spectators as they performed such tricks as belly scratcher, tail wagger, look-a-like and pocket pooch.

“We are just out to enjoy the day and to see all the cute dogs in their costumes,” said Katie Richards of Herndon.

The parade route started out at the Library towards Bark ‘N Bubbles were each dog received a “doggie goody bag.”
