We all know cats are the most fashionable pets in the city, but there's no way a kitty could rock an Antoine Dodson costume as good as a pup. Yesterday was the 20th annual Tompkins Square Park Halloween Dog Parade, where dogs and humans alike dressed up in costumes that ranged from cute (Thing 1 and Thing 2) to topical (Tron) to downright terrifying (bed bugs).
Prizes were given "every 30 minutes," and pups dressed as Lady Gaga and the bed bugs were a few of the winners, but an iPod and a Jack Spade messenger bag went to the owners of Gracie, who dressed her up as Scarlett O'Hara. Owner Dewey Moss simply said, "I'm shocked." Antoine Dodson (Dogson?) was robbed!
