Images: #TBT Gallery looks back at dog shows

For this week's #TBT Gallery, we take a look back at dog shows in the Northwest suburbs in the 1960s and 1970s. There were a variety of ways to show off the talents of dogs, including obedience shows and children showing their dogs.

Looking back at our old photos, it looked like dressing up your dog in different costumes was popular. We have dogs with hats and riding in baby buggies and even a just married cat and dog.
