Furry fashionistas turn Halifax street into Maritimes’ cutest runway

Pet parade held in Halifax Owners and their pets strolled up and down Quinpool Road in Halifax for the Annual Pet Parade Saturday, led by none other than Santa Claus.

Pet owners and their cuddly companions gathered at the Taproom on Quinpool Road in Halifax on Saturday for the Annual Pet Parade.

The holiday tradition started at 11 a.m. when the most fashionable pets in the region lined up with their owners behind Santa Claus, dressed in their holiday best. They travelled east to Robie Street and back again while adoring fans bribed them with treats and belly scratches so they could take pictures.
