Very cute pupper but I feel like these celebrations are always too much for dogs. Make sure they aren’t overwhelmed.

You’re definitely right to worry about that, but he’s absolutely fine. I’ve had a lot of dogs in my life and he’s the only one I’d ever take to an event like this. He loves the crowds and doesn’t get overwhelmed by really anything. I bring him to fireworks shows too because he even enjoys those. We also stood pretty far back from everything, and once it got too crowded, we went home. I even had a few different people comment to me that they couldn’t believe how relaxed he was.

I definitely appreciate your concern though!

My dog loves this shit and I had him out there in his jersey. So many people came up and tried to tell me that I should leave because my dog might be overwhelmed…I know my dog. He’s been out there for so many events along broad. People need to mind their own business on that shit sometimes.

Yeah lol, my dog has been a city dog for the majority of his life and he loves it. He’s nosy as hell, he loves the crowds, and he’s out there hamming it up trying to get people to pet him. He’s happy. If he wasn’t, then he wouldn’t behave and it wouldn’t be enjoyable for me either. I know my dog.
