Animal lovers flocked to the David L. Lawrence Convention Center this weekend for the Pittsburgh Pet Expo. Many attendees brought their pets to see the latest and greatest in pet products, compete in contests, take photos with Santa and other pet-friendly activities. While dogs were among the most popular animals to attend, the expo highlighted less common pets like tortoises, parrots and capybaras, the world’s largest rodent.
