The Wolfhound has been an important symbol of Ireland dating back to as early as 7000 B.C.
He's named after Finn McCool, a legendary giant that is said to have created Ireland's Giant Causeway.
Finn will walk alongside St. Patrick himself during the parade and will make other appearances throughout the year.
