Sandra Brebenel, a Florida native, entered the competition with Matilda Snuggles. The duo came to Philadelphia to celebrate the semiquincentennial and the pet parade, with Brebenel bringing Matilda Snuggles to the parade to show off her pup with an Uncle Sam hat.<\/p>\n
\u201cI will tell you it is not this warm in Florida. We are huge fans of the World Cup. We have been going to all the World Cup parties and it has been amazing,\u201d Brebenel said. \u201cWe have been having a great time seeing everyone happy and excited for America\u2019s birthday.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tim Dunlea and his dog, Bruno, took best in show. Old City native, Dunlea has attended the competition several times, but this is the first time he entered his pet in the competition.\u00a0 Bruno, 18, was a fan favorite. Dunlea took home a basket of prizes as well as tickets to the pet-friendly Chinese Lantern Festival.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sandra Brebenel, a Florida native, entered the competition with Matilda Snuggles.
