Four-Legged Friends Celebrate The Fourth of July In Illinois

ILLINOIS — Our pets may not like hearing fireworks on Independence Day, but there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that they simply love being dressed up in patriotic petticoats, red, white and blue bandanas, or ill-fitting Uncle Sam hats.

Check out how these brave four-legged friends are using fashion to fête Fourth of July this year.

This is Gilly, who is all ears when it comes to hearing about all the fun Fourth of July cookouts and activities you've got going on.

Rosie is summer glamour incarnate. Some lucky member of the pup-arazzi snapped this pic just in time while Rosie was beaching on the Fourth.

Bo, pictured below, is not afraid to stand up for the cause of patriotism.

Lucy was voted most likely to look adorable in an American flag bandana. If you'd like to fact-check that, just look at this indubitably cute photo.

Maggie was all too excited to don this star-spangled boa and share her love of America. Have you ever seen a cuter dog?*
