New York's finest pups marched around in their best costumes Saturday for the 24th annual Tompkins Square Halloween Dog Parade.

Presented by Beggin' Strips dog treats, the event featured hundreds of pooches dressed up in creative costumes.

Top dog wins "Best in Show" and total bragging rights at the dog park. Many owners plan their pets' outfits, spending anywhere from hours to months making them (and in the process, putting human costumes to shame).

Mashable attended the parade to sniff out the best Halloween costumes for dogs. Check out our gallery, below:
