It's an event where we invite residents and community members to bring their pets and enjoy pets performing and see what a great walkable and pet-friendly community we have," says Lorna Prediger, the director of marketing at the University of Calgary Properties Group.

Families could also enter their dog to compete in the Amateur Community Dog Show, with the top three dogs awarded for best trick and costume.

The community event was held on Father's Day and organizers say what better way to celebrate than with your four-legged family members by your side.
