After almost being canceled because of financial constraints, about 15,000 people and more than 600 pups turned out for the annual parade on Saturday — nearly doubling last year’s attendance.

Organizers of the annual parade in New York’s Tompkins Square Park nearly canceled the event over permitting and funding issues. Now it’s back and bigger than ever.
