Richmond Christmas Parade's grand marshal is a very good boy

The grand marshal for this year's Dominion Energy Richmond Christmas Parade is a very good boy named Panda Panda! . Why it matters: If you're lucky, you can adopt him or some of his furry friends after next month's parade. Driving the news: Panda Panda! — yes, his name includes the exclamation mark — is a 1-year-old rescued pit bull mix leading the parade aboard a float alongside other adoptable pups, parade spokesperson Tara Daudani tells Axios. Fun fact: He joins a colorful cast of nonhuman grand marshals, including Clifford the Big Red Dog, Snoopy, the Grinch and Nutzy and Nutasha, per an Axios review. This year appears to be the first time an adoptable rescue dog landed the honored top spot. The intrigue: The job almost went to a cat. Organizers hoped to involve Francine, the celebrity feline at the Broad Street Lowe's where the parade ends. But Lowe's didn't want her to leave the store ( obviously ), Daudani says. So instead they organized a pet adoption event at the Lowe's hosted by Francine — and gave the grand marshal job to one lucky top dog: Panda Panda! Once more for the people in the back: Panda Panda!
