from M Live coverage (June 2016):
He's got the one-paw wave down. Now he's just working on flashing that toothy grin.
Piper, Michigan's popular bird-chasing border collie who helps clear the runways of wildlife at Cherry Capital Airport in Traverse City, has been tapped to be the grand marshal of the DTE Energy Cherry Royale Parade at next month's National Cherry Festival.
The photogenic dog, who has become a social media sensation in the last year, is following in distinguished footsteps. Grand Rapids' native son President Gerald R. Ford led this "grandaddy" of festival parades in 1975.
The Royale Parade steps off at 11:15 a.m. on Saturday, July 9, 2016. An estimated half-million people attend the eight-day festival.
