Festive Dog Parade Brings Christmas Cheer to Central London

Over 130 dogs dressed in holiday outfits marched from St. James's Park to Buckingham Palace to raise funds for rescue charities.

The Christmas Jumper Parade saw dogs and their owners don festive attire, including Santa costumes, elf outfits, and stylish accessories.
The event was organized by Rescue Dogs of London and Friends to support Hungary Hearts Dog Rescue and ZEM Rescues, which rehome dogs from overseas.
Participants walked along the Mall, a prominent boulevard leading to Buckingham Palace, where prizes were awarded for the best-dressed pets.
A French bulldog in a red beret and pink jacket with red bows was among the standout contenders for the fashion awards.
Additional themed dog parades are planned in London, including a corgi event on December 7 and a dachshund walk on December 15.
