If It's Almost Halloween, Then Dogs Must Wear Costumes

While the humans get the big Halloween Parade in Greenwich Village on October 31, canines have a series of Halloween Parades to participate in. This past weekend, there dogs were decked out in elaborate costumes in both Carl Schurz Park on the Upper East Side and Tompkins Square Park in the East Village. Take a look at these awesome costumes—our favorite is the Hulk Dog, if only because she endured getting dyed green! Update: We learned that Hulk Dog is an Olde English Bulldogge named Fanny—she got 2nd place for her costume.

And this Saturday, it's the 11th Annual Great Pupkin in Fort Greene Park.

pets are not children, stop treating them as such.

Oh come on! Don't tell me that you haven't thought about putting your cat in a Wonder Woman costume.

To some people, pets are the only 'children' they will ever have. I agree that they are only animals and not humans, but they're still fun to dress up.

Do you constantly contradict everything you stand for or is it just something that happens every time you open your mouth?

HELLO, open a book, HUMANS are Animals. Here is a kid's website to explain why humans are animals

dressing up your kids is one thing. dressing up your dog? might as well dress up your furniture, or your houseplants. except that it's actually cruel to the dog, so you'd be better off with the houseplants. at least kids can refuse.

I am really disappointed at the lack of a monkey in full karate gi

poor dogs, this is what i called cruel!!!

I wish they wouldn't color their dogs, that seems wrong.

jeez, all you people like to do is argue; I think the pics are cute even though I am sure most of the dogs do not like any costumes on them ... even for human entertainment.
