Things you thought you'd never see...

Here is a picture of a Dog...

.... in a American Civil War Uniform

...at a Cemetery

The dog was part of a parade of dogs dressed in historical uniforms.

So, if the photographer had been of a different inclination, there may have been Roman Legionary dogs in red kilts and doggie sandals, Spanish Civil War dogs with La Passionara hairpieces, maybe even a full squad of Star Wars re-enactment dogs in Stormtrooper armour?

This picture was front page news in the New York Times.

Rather surpisingly, it was not part of a story about the abuse of pets by obsessive loner owners..
