About this Article

Poco Chico is a Chihuahua with a pretty impressive wardrobe. There's the Elvis costume. A velvet cape and crown for another kind of king. And some gear just for his strides in a Fourth of July parade. It's all part of his role as an ambassador of sorts for the Hinsdale Humane Society, one of dozens of organizations that will set up booths Saturday at the annual Dog Days event at Cantigny Park in Wheaton. The event is free with $5 parking and runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
