Big Dogs:
Big Dogs, based in Santa Barbara, California, is a chain of stores in the United States which features clothing and apparel holding the "Big Dogs" brand name.
[edit] Parade
On the first Saturday in June the company hosts the annual "Big Dog Parade and Canine Festival" as their corporate charity fundraiser. People from all over bring their dogs to participate in and to watch the parade that takes place in downtown Santa Barbara, California (near the corporate headquarters and the flagship store) beginning at the intersection of State and De la Guerra Streets. The parade makes its way down State St., toward the West Beach, ending at the Canine Festival at Old Chase Palm Park.
Participants (and occasionally spectators) dress themselves and their canine pals in costumes. Prizes are given for Best in Parade, Best Costume, and Most Humorous Costume, among others. The parade's proceeds go towards the Big Dog Foundation, which "benefits dogs, children, and dogs that help people."
[edit] The Walking Company
In early 2004, Big Dog Holdings, Inc. acquired The Walking Company, a retailer of footwear.
