Over a thousand dogs and only two hands with which to pet them

The annual Fiesta Pooch Parade starts at the end of my street--so we walked down to meet a few dogs.  Mike, who loves dogs as much as Linda Kot and Elena Pritchett do, had to pet as many in possible in thirty minutes, his self-allotted time frame.

Many of the dogs are dressed up in Fiesta attire; some are naked.  Mike kept looking for the "ugliest dog" (as he likes ugly dogs best) but he's never met a dog he doesn't like.
