More than 40 people dressed up their dogs (and maybe themselves, too) in costume to parade at Hillsborough Township’s first Howl-O-Ween event, held Saturday in Ann Van Middlesworth Park.
The best small dog was deemed to be the schnauzer Tigger owned by Dorothy Zadzilko. The best large costumed pet was Charlie Mele’s Akita, Cato.
The best costumed dog/owner combo went to the Star Wars-themed family of Stacey D’Agostino. The most creative prize went to Mary Beth Shipley, dressed as a beekeeper with her dog, Maxine, as a bee.
The funniest award went to Nancy Bertin and dog Snickers. The Scariest costumed pet was brought by Kim Katz. A superheroes family won the group award.
Runnersup awards went to Tyreke Oxford and dog Coco, and the Ellery and Annika Lambert-Smith family of chefs.
