People wanting to march with their dogs in the parade were required to sign up in advance and check in at the event.\n<\/p>\n<p>At 3 p.m. New York time (19:00 UTC), a car started to drive between Avenues B and A on 10th Street, going <span class=\"interwiki-link-foreign\"><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/East\" class=\"extiw\" title=\"w:East\">East<\/a><\/span> through the crowds. The car, which had taxi and limousine commision plates, honked while driving down the street, trying to make its way through a crowded street full of pedestrians, dogs, strollers, and children. Angry onlookers confronted the driver, who seemed unaffected by the situation and eventually squeezed his car past a police vehicle blocking the exit onto Avenue A. No police intervened.\n<\/p>\n<p>There were crowds and dogs on several streets in the area, including 13th Street between Avenues A and B, 10th Street between Avenues A and B, and 6th Street between Avenues A and C. Dogs were also in the park itself. The streets were sectioned off for the parade to march in the center, with viewers to either side.\n<\/p>\n<p>On and near 6th Street, there were a few prepared stalls for dog activities &#8211; a \u201c<span class=\"interwiki-link-foreign\"><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/red_carpet\" class=\"extiw\" title=\"w:red carpet\">red carpet<\/a><\/span>\u201d style display for dogs to pose on, a photographer offering photos of dogs. A dog named Izzy was very reluctant to pose for a photo and kept walking off the staging area. Also in attendance was Tofu, a dog purportedly running for president.\n<\/p>\n<p><h2 id=\"Gallery\">Gallery<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><h2 id=\"Sources\">Sources<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><!-- \nNewPP limit report\nParsed by mw&#8208;web.eqiad.main&#8208;6c859d6d5c&#8208;q6k74\nCached time: 20251202030057\nCache expiry: 604800\nReduced expiry: true\nComplications: [vary&#8208;revision&#8208;sha1]\nCPU time usage: 0.187 seconds\nReal time usage: 0.308 seconds\nPreprocessor visited node count: 1500\/1000000\nRevision size: 3836\/2097152 bytes\nPost&#8208;expand include size: 35498\/2097152 bytes\nTemplate argument size: 14954\/2097152 bytes\nHighest expansion depth: 23\/100\nExpensive parser function count: 10\/500\nUnstrip recursion depth: 0\/20\nUnstrip post&#8208;expand size: 15979\/5000000 bytes\nLua time usage: 0.047\/10.000 seconds\nLua memory usage: 1630789\/52428800 bytes\nNumber of Wikibase entities loaded: 0\/500\n--><br \/>\n<!--\nTransclusion expansion time report (%,ms,calls,template)\n100.00%  254.325      1 -total\n 55.12%  140.187      1 Template:Culture_and_entertainment\n 54.36%  138.242      2 Template:Infobox\n 53.39%  135.793      1 Template:Infobox\/p1\n 52.39%  133.247      1 Template:Infobox\/p2\n 36.91%   93.860     15 Template:Evalx\n 29.04%   73.860     14 Template:Infobox\/lookup\n 20.50%   52.137      1 Template:Infosection\n 15.85%   40.308      1 Template:InfoboxStart\n 11.16%   28.389      1 Template:Publish\n--><\/p>\n<p><!-- Saved in parser cache with key enwikinews:stable-pcache:3029103:|#|:idhash:canonical and timestamp 20251202030057 and revision id 4890606.
