The East Village wasn't the only place celebrating dogs and the owners brave enough to stuff them in costumes on Saturday: The 16th Annual Great PUPkin was held at Fort Greene Park. Brooklyn was in fine form, with the top prize going to a dog dressed as Shakespeare hater Ira Glass. Glass himself commented on the momentous honor:
Um, flattered .... I guess. “@andreafgarcia: The most adorable winner of #pupkin14 dressed up as Ira Glass #brooklyn pic.twitter.com/wWnW3VN4en”

Second prize went to dogs dressed as the G train and Devo. Other favorites: Run DMC, Hedwig, a paper shredder, Slimer, a selfie dog and a Jeff Koons balloon dog.
