The 20th Annual Tompkins Square Halloween Dog Parade - New York Small Dog

Bed bugs were crawling around Tompkins Square Dog Run today for the annual Tompkins Square Halloween Dog Parade presented by PeoplePets.com and Unleashed Spa.  The bed bugs were FiFi GiGi and Meteor sitting in a Daniel Moyer Design custom bed fit for a doggy king or queen.  Hundreds of dogs brought their owners to the Tompkins dog run to try to win one of dozens of prizes. 

Lady Gaga won a prize.  So did Breakfast at Tiffany's.  Roberto Negrin's Hec-Lin's Designs for Dogs custom outfits were popular, including Cubby and Ginger in his winter and spring park outfits.  The dynamic terrier duo won cheekd dating cards.  A cute pup channeling Scarlett O'Hara and "Woof in the Wind" took top prize. 

Anything goes at the biggest New York City doggy Halloween parade.  And with perfect autumn weather on a Saturday afternoon, the park was packed.  Bandit the Chihuahua donned a cool futuristic Transformers suit. Tuffy the Mohawk Dog was a jailbird.  We saw show girls, sundaes, sharks, and everything in between.  It was a true feast for the eyes!
