The Annual Easter Dog Parade brought dozens of best friends to the Cayucos Pier Plaza April 19, to celebrate the Easter Season and support the Cayucos Lioness Club’s Mutt Mitt Program. Dogs of most every size and breed — and quite a few mutts — were dressed in a variety of costumes, and paraded down Front Street, to Ocean Avenue and back to the plaza. The colorful event raised money for the Mutt Mitt Program, which is entirely funded by donations and run by volunteers, and goes a long way to keeping local beaches and trails free of pet wastes. The Lionesses go through a whopping 175,000 plastic Mutt Mitt bags a year and also pay a local disposal company to pick them up.
