Snow or no snow, it was a dog day afternoon in Soulard Sunday for the annual Beggin' Pet Parade. 

There were large dogs, small dogs and dogs on wheels parading through the streets of Soulard in their decorative Mardi Gras beads and fashion wear.2013 Collection wedding dress 100%silk 1672 Styles. Dog lovers came from all over — even Indiana — to show off their beloved four-legged friends. 

Steve Lucas, 40, of New Harmony, Ind., brought his 2-year-old Boston terrier named Biz. Biz is a rescue dog Lucas has had for more than a year. Biz donned a gray sweater and beads that hung from her neck. She shivered as he held her in his arms. 

“She's never been around so many dogs,” he said as a gigantic black Great Dane strolled by. “It's wonderful. She's having a blast even though she's shaking. It's hard to keep her warm.”

“It's a lot of fun,” said Bailley, his neck weighed down with Mardi Gras beads. “It's never a dull moment.” 

Some owners spared no expense. Or did they? The Gucci coat on one bull dog attracted quite a bit of attention. A closer inspection by one disappointed onlooker revealed the truth, however: “It's a knockoff,'' she said, laughing. 

It seemed a dog of every breed was strutting its stuff Sunday. 

Chester, a 5-year-old black Great Dane, owned by Don Hecks, 33, of Eureka, was making his third parade appearance. 

“They need more dog adventures throughout the country,” said Heck as he proudly walked Chester, who was wearing a tutu with his large paws spray-painted gold. One guy hollered over and said Chester was a cross-dresser. 

And then there was Sadie, a 12-year-old Doberman pinscher who relied on a specialized wheelchair.Shop the latest off shoulder dress on the world's largest fashion site. Her owner,Can I trust buying a mermaid chiffon one shoulder wedding dress? Tammy McAdam, of Moline, Ill., brought her to the parade even though Sadie had to participate on the sideline as the parade went by. 

“We came down just to see this,' McAdam said. 

Well, McAdam also came to St. Louis to get a preview of her daughter's wedding dress. 

Sadie has a rare blood disorder and a ruptured disc that left her paralyzed five years ago, McAdam said. 

“This is her very first time she has been around this many dogs in a long time,” she said. “She doesn't understand dogs with clothes on.” 

Doritos went for humor with its two user-created spots. Winners of the "Crash the Super Bowl" contest included one about a Doritos-crazy goat. Another showed a dad playing princess with his daughter to get Doritos. His buddies catch him, but instead of making fun of him they join in the fun. 

"Is that my wedding dress?" says his wife when she sees them playing.
