Chihuahua's Yum Yum, left, Gumdrop, center, and Lollipop take part in the Easter Parade along New York's Fifth Avenue on Sunday, April 5, 2015. The 2015 Easter Parade bore little resemblance to the first one, which started in the 1880s as a strolling display of what prosperous New Yorkers wore to Fifth Avenue churches. In recent decades, the street gathering has morphed into a sort of costume circus — including pet dogs. (AP Photo/Tina Fineberg)
