Dancing stray dog steals the show at Mexico festival

He's so awesome, I wish he had a home.



Adorable Dog Sees Parade And Decides To Join The Fun

He got SO excited — and totally stole the show 😂

BY SARAH V SCHWEIG

People at a street parade earlier this month probably thought they were having a pretty good time — until a local dog showed everyone what it really means to celebrate.

It’s a tradition in some parts of Mexico to celebrate a wedding with a parade. And that’s just what locals were doing. Dressed-up dancers were twirling around to the delight of spectators, following giant puppets, or "mojigangas," representing the bride and groom down the street.

And one of those spectators happened to be a street dog who, letting the moment inspire him, decided to join in the dance.

This dog is just one of many pups in Mexico who live on the street — not the easiest life for an animal — but he clearly seems to make the most of it: According to some sources, this street pup frequently seizes the opportunity to join street parades in the town.

You can help stray dogs in Mexico by making a donation to Compassion Without Borders.
