一只获救的狗狗将领衔今年的里士满圣诞大游行。一岁的比特混血犬Panda Panda被选为2026年第43届Dominion Energy里士满圣诞大游行的总领队，它曾患病，如今已恢复健康，来自里士满动物护理与控制中心，目前仍在等待领养家庭。
游行将于12月5日上午10点举行，将沿市中心一条新路线行进，今年主题为「Making Magic Moments」，Panda Panda将与其他毛茸茸的朋友们一同走在游行队伍最前方。
主办方表示，选择一只获救犬担任总领队，是为了向动物收容与领养工作致意，也为节日增添温情色彩。里士满圣诞大游行是当地历史悠久的节日传统，每年吸引大批市民沿街观看。今年游行路线调整后，沿途将设置新的观礼区域，方便更多家庭参与这场节日庆典。
Rescued Dog Panda Panda Named Grand Marshal of Richmond Christmas Parade in Virginia
A rescued dog will lead this year's Richmond Christmas Parade. Panda Panda, a one-year-old pit bull mix, has been named grand marshal of the 43rd annual Dominion Energy Richmond Christmas Parade in 2026. Once sick, he has recovered at Richmond Animal Care and Control and is still waiting for an adoptive home.
The parade will step off at 10 a.m. on December 5 along a new downtown route under this year's theme, "Making Magic Moments," with Panda Panda walking at the very front alongside other furry friends.
Organizers said choosing a rescued dog as grand marshal honors animal sheltering and adoption work and adds warmth to the holiday. The Richmond Christmas Parade is a long-standing local tradition that draws large crowds along the route each year. With this year's route changed, new viewing areas will be set up along the way so more families can take part in the festivities.
