Bark at the Park

Despite not winning, Sofie, a whippet owned by Lori and Jon Maas of Pekin, proudly shows off her Hawaiian attire after competing in the best dressed contest at the Peoria Humane Society's 10th annual Bark in the Park event at the Peoria Riverfront on Sunday. The event, which featured contests and events such as the Marvelous Mutt Show and the dog olympics, raised money for low-cost spaying and neutering, cruelty rescue and adoption among other programs.
