BEING the best in show isn't always about being the prettiest, sometimes it's just about being the most confident small dog in a leather jumpsuit, as one competitor found out on Saturday.
Proud dog owners kitted out their hounds for the Pride in the Park event, for the second day of the fortnight-long Bendigo Pride Festival.

The event was the Thorne Harbour Health Dog Show, which gave owners and their pets a chance to strut the catwalk in style and show their flamboyant side with joy and support.
The spirit of acceptance and respect was also celebrated with a Dja Dja Wurrung welcome to country and smoking ceremony.
