Peggy was one of many dogs at the Halloween-themed event, which raises money for Canine Companions for Independence, a national organization that provides free assistance dogs to the disabled.
Tiny Peggy, and most of the other dogs at the event, appeared completely unintimidated by the crowds. This held true even when Roxie the Great Dane, weighing in around pounds, came into view dressed as a racehorse. The question inspired her husband Scott, who decorated Roxie with pink elastic bandages around her ankles and a "saddle" cut from pink cloth. A DJ was blasting loud music and organizers estimated around 1, people came and went during the event.
Other booths featured veterinarians, professional dog trainers and dog treat purveyors. Ubiquitous throughout the event were the golden retrievers and Labrador retrievers used by Canine Companions, wearing blue-trimmed yellow capes bearing the organization's logo. Pitbull Macy, 5, donned a rainbow-colored tutu for the occasion. She was accompanied by owner Rachel Kadner of Oakland and Rachel's daughter Zoe, 10, wearing a cape and carrying a sorcerer's wand.
