The American Visionary Art Museum held its fan favorite July 4th Pet Parade and fur baby talent show Thursday morning.
One of the best athletes in the house was a dog named Sly. It was his third year showing his paws at the event.
"He's the nation's greatest Olympian," said Nia Dickens from Windsor Mill.
"He has a gold in sleeping, a gold in eating, a bronze in swimming, but he's a scoundrel. He's a charmer, and people love him."
Trophies were given for a wide range of categories for the parade and pet talent show.
Some of the more notable ones were Most Patriotic, Ready-for-Prime-Time Pet Talent, Best Pet Haute Couture (Best Costume), and Best Visionary Pet Hair-do. The grand prize, Most Visionary Pet 2024, is given to the animal that represents the true spirit of America.
