Check out this fun video of the 2017 Spooky Pooch Parade.
This is the 10th year for this fun, Lakewood, OH, event — held in Kauffman Park.

Important to note for those of you who enjoy pet costumes, which seem to grow in popularity every year:

The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals warns owners that for some pets, wearing a costume may cause undue stress.

“The ASPCA recommends that you don’t put your dog or cat in a costume unless you know he or she loves it,” the group wrote in a blog post. “If you do dress up your pet for Halloween, make sure the costume does not limit his or her movement, sight or ability to breathe, bark or meow.”
