Chembur's 11-year-old annual pet parade returned on Saturday, March 21, with a mythology theme as hundreds of dressed-up dogs, a fashionably attired iguana, and their proud owners walked Central Avenue Road. Organised by Chembur Citizens Welfare, the free event aims to change negative perceptions about street dogs and promote responsible pet ownership. PICS/ASHISH RAJE
