This Weekend in Doggy Dress-Up

Dog Day Masquerade

Times Square had a good scare yesterday as over 50 canines in costumes came down to compete in the annual Dog Day Masquerade, a tradition that celebrates and rewards the art of creative dress. This Sunday, characters ranging from pumpkins to pirates to princesses were seen flooding the area surrounding 42nd street.
The Times Square Top Dog prize, awarded for best representation of Times Square's past and present, was given to Indy, a 5-month old mini Dachshund sporting a TKTS booth costume.
Two pups won the hearts of the judges for the Best in Show Prize; Pepe the ghost and Oliver the sheriff went home with joint honors and tied for first place.
