Doo Dah Parade Basset Hound Clowns
Great jollity and smiles on Saturday at the annual Pasadena Doo Dah Parade, which included a contingent of Basset Hound Clowns. The Doo Dah is a sort of People’s parade: a colorful, zany, carnival style fundraiser. The thirty-five or so Basset Hounds massed at eight-thirty AM for the parade starting at eleven AM — quite a stretch in the sun — and although these amiable, engaging dogs managed beautifully, they were keen to get marching behind their Basset Hound Rescue of Southern California banner. I have included pictures of the dogs in waiting and marching mode, as well as a couple of Parade images to provide a bit of context.
Look for the pictures of the marching hounds joyously snuffling up bits of tortilla thrown on the ground by a previous marching group, as well as their sociability with the public — petting allowed. These charming Basset clowns elicited loud cheers and smiles from the spectators, and hopefully helped contribute to their cause.
