Well Halloween is over, and so is the yearly humiliation heaped upon dogs and other pets by their loving but shamelessly anthropomorphizing designers-slash-owners.
Brooklyn Bark gave away lots of goodies. |
I spent my Halloween at Fort Greene PUPkin (PUPS stands for Park Users and Pets Society), the yearly Brooklyn dog-costume contest, helping Brooklyn Bark raise money for local animal rescue societies.
Im not going to post all my pics of silly dogs in sillier costumes. Humiliating perhaps; hilarious and priceless definitely. But here were a few of my favorites.
One of our Calm Energy Greyhounds is named "Turtle" (some sort of ironic take on his racing stature), so I naturally liked this one:
The owners told me they picked up the costume at Target! |
This one the owners said is a tourist. Its pretty incredible.
Note the Yankees hat, the fanny-pack (do you think tourist dogs sniff other tourist dogs fanny-packs?), and the baggy jeans.
This next one was a French Bulldog. Pierre La Dog or something.
He stared at me like he wanted to bite my head off - I think because I was wearing a giant shiny yellow genie hat. (Sorry no pics available.)
Quest-ce que vous regardez? |
This guy was a bowling ball. I guess hes mid-smash through the pins. It rings true with lots of Bulldogs I know.
Strike! |
Heeeeeeres Johnny! |
You know you want to!
