Happy Howl-o-ween! Take a look at these spooky pups celebrating Halloween with their owners by taking part in a big fancy dress parade.

The Tompkins Square Halloween Dog Parade takes place each year in New York City in the US.

The parade first took place 34 years ago as a way to help raise money for the Tompkins Square Park dog run - the city’s first and biggest dog-specific park - and has been popular ever since.

The event draws in dozens of costumed canines and their owners to parade down the area's streets, with some winning prizes for their creative outfits.

Take a look at some of their pawsome outfits! Are you dressing up with your pet for Halloween? If so let us know what costume you'll be wearing in the comments below!
