ACROSS ILLINOIS — There's nothing that says you love America more than decking out your dog or cat in red, white, and blue for the Fourth of July. Pet owners love to show off their pup's patriotic spirit, but not as much as they love to capture the moment in shareable, show-off-able, photos. This selection of patriotic pet pics from Patch readers is sure to melt your heart or get you humming Yankee Doodle Doggy.
