Dogs lining up at the bank, definitely not something you see everyday. But today, our four legged friends transformed Logan Square Liberty Bank into a zoo.

 Owners flocked with their pets of all shapes and sizes to get portraits taken by a professional photographer. From a huge furry husky, to a Maltese wearing a sweater everyone was welcome. One young boy even brought his hamster in a Tupperware container. 

Animal lovers could ask Veterinarian Dr. Dylan Fredrick questions and have him take a quick look at their pet. 

All the proceeds from the event went to benefit the Wright-Way Animal Shelter that recently suffered the loss of its Niles shelter due to a crash involving a school bus.

They had a few puppies available for adoption that were hard to resist when they looked at you with those drooping, woeful blue eyes.

Tonight, the Salvation Army hosted their 31st Annual Tree of Light Ceremony at Union Station in downtown Chicago. The event not only marked the beginning of the holiday season, but also kicked off the Red Kettle Campaign. 

The Salvation Army Red Kettles have been a holiday tradition since 1891. The campaign helps raise about 70 percent of the fund used year-round. Donations help provide toys for kids, coats for the homeless, food for the hungry and other social service programs. 

The event also featured live musical performances by cast members of the Broadway in Chicago, the Chicago Ballet “The Nutcracker”, the Salvation Army Brass Ensemble and the East Chicago Singing Company. 

The brave volunteers, barring their bells and red kettles with hit the streets tomorrow.
