Dogs

Jim Brooks of Ramrod Key, Florida, checks the positioning of a mylar balloon affixed to his 'Balloon Dog' Brutus during the Fantasy Fest Pet Masquerade staged in Key West, October 28, 2009. Brooks designed the costume in parody of the alleged 'Balloon Boy' hoax involving a Colorado couple who reported their young son had been carried aloft by a runaway homemade balloon.
