Few events are as highly anticipated in New York City as the Tompkins Square Halloween Dog Parade [1], and it isn't hard to see why. This year's event marked the 26th annual parade, where thousands of crafty pups strutted their stuff to win the prize of top dog. The Sweet Shop cart crew [2] were crowned this year's champions, but we truly can't imagine how the judges picked a favorite.
Feast your eyes on these spook-tacular, adorable critters and get inspired for your own DIY Halloween projects [3].
