Participants in the Siloam Baptist Church Mutt Strut

Toledo Bend Bonnie was a crowd favorite during the parade of contestants with her camo hunting vest and coon-skin hat.

On Saturday, June 19 members of Siloam Baptist Church welcomed “man’s best friend” to Mutt Strut Dog Show. Dogs of all sizes showed up to compete in the personality and tricks categories. During the parade of contestants 13 eager pups and their owners wooed the audience with clever costumes and showmanship. The tricks division brought many laughs as the contestants demonstrated such things as shaking hands, begging, laying down and sitting. Everyone walked away a winner, with each contestant and owner receiving a blue ribbon at the end of the show.
