For those of you who have never had the pleasure of participating in San Francisco's Bay to Breakers run/walk I highly encourage you to do so. It is definitely an only in San Francisco experience and should be a part of everyone's bucket list. This year's race will take place on May16th, this Sunday, and will mark its 99th anniversary. The course is 7.46 miles and starts at the Embarcadero (the Bay) and takes you through the city with the finish line at the end of Golden Gate Park at the Great Highway and Ocean Beach (the Breakers). You can choose to run the course or walk, but the true spectacle is the walking option. Just consider it a moving party where everyone dresses up in costume (or nothing at all) and creates floats to push along. It is unbelievably fun! Over the years my favorite costumes have involved a group of older ladies who dressed up as synchronized swimmers and performed a routine while walking the route. Another was a group of people dressed as salmon who swam "up stream", too funny! The sky is the limit!
So while I don't encourage you to bring your dog amongst the drunken debauchery I do encourage you to dress like one! Here are some fun dog themed costumes in case you are still looking for something.
I get a chuckle imagining a group of dudes walking around with dog ears and tails with a stereo blasting "Who Let the Dog's Out!". Imagine the trouble they could cause and blame it on the fact that they are a bunch of dogs.

Dog the Bounty Hunter and his wife
Elle Woods and her dog Bruiser
Lady looking for her lost dog
Sick as a dog
What ever you end up dressing up as I hope you have an amazing time! Remember your sunscreen, try to stay hydrated, pick up after yourselves, and make a plan on how you are going to get home :)
