While the celebrations of the Carnival of the Janeiro River began on Saturday, dozens of dogs disguised as superheroes, clowns and cartoons paraded with their home owners in one of the most popular street festivals in the city.
One hundred dogs stirred the tail to the Samba music and socialized in the so -called Blocao Street party, where around three hundred people and their pets accumulated in the district of Barra Da Tijuca, in the west aspect of Rio.
“I think it’s wonderful, I have arrived for many years,” said Priscila Dos Santos Silva, 42, who took land, his Chihuahua, disguised as a party doll. “It is wonderful to see this interaction between pets and families. It is a lot of joy and is intelligent for everyone. This is a type of carnival. “
Antonio Marinho, 71, said that this year’s Blocao is even more respectful of dogs that paraded less than 30 degrees Celsius de Rio (86 Fahrenheit) on Saturday morning. A hydration station has been opened and the same old parade in the streets moved to save the pets of pets from the pets.
“We will not pass out on the sidewalk because it is hot. By respect for pets, we will remain under this glorious shadow,” Marinho said. “Here we have children, elderly and many dogs. “
The so -called Blocao is an aggregate of “Bloco”, which means Carnival Street Party and “Cao” or dog in Portuguese. This is one of the few occasions that challenged the ban on the city of the street holidays of the Covid-19 Pandemia, in which Brazil was one of the most difficult countries.
The street has been carried out for more than 20 years.
