The Fremont Sunday Market is well known for it’s love affair of our canine companions and our short leash policy that allows patrons to walk the market with their four legged friends. The cast of canines are as colorful as the patrons that frequent the market that makes for one of Sunday’s biggest dog parades in town. They are another fun attraction of the market, which makes a great place to take your pup for a Sunday stroll.
This week, we met the colorful and stylish pup pictured here. His name was Quintus and had a wild blue streaks down his back and on his ears.
Next week, we will feature another dog and their owner on our blog.
