The 12th annual Cornelius All American Dog Show was Oct. 6 at Bailey Road Park.  The event was put on by the Cornelius PARC Department in collaboration with the North Mecklenburg Animal Hospital.

Hundreds of people came out to celebrate man's best friend and check out the many dog related booths.

The event kicked off with the Shelter Strut parade, where dogs that had been adopted or rescued did a lap around the contest area for their time in the spotlight.

Afterwards, there was a dog show contest featuring several categories, including Best Dressed, Best Trick, Cutest Puppy and more.

Check out our slideshow below for some of the contestants and their owners.
