Sashay, a great dane and labrador mix, sat on a plastic chair and calmly watched as hundreds of parade participants passed her by.
Her owner, Homer Pillsbury, stood by her side, enjoying a parade that comes past his front porch every January.
Pillsbury and Sashay live on Highland Avenue in Beaumont's South Park neighborhood.
The annual Martin Luther King Jr. parade runs along Highland, so Pillsbury and other nearby residents and business owners have front row seats.
"It's like Mardi Gras but for Martin Luther King Jr.," Pillsbury said.
