I've seen dog Halloween costumes in stores and always thought they were cute...but where would your dog wear them?

Experts advise against taking your dog trick-or-treating because they don't understand people in costumes.

Dogs and their owners are invited to the park between 1 and 3 pm to show off their (the dog's) best costumes and enter the costume contest.

Volunteers will take your pup's picture and ask for some info like your name, your dog's name, and your phone number so they can contact you if you win.

They'll post the photos on social media so folks can vote for their favorites, and then they'll announce the winners in three categories.

Once the photo is done, the humans can take off their doggy's costumes and roam around a trunk-or-treat, where the dogs can get treats and toys.

Then it's time for some canine socialization in the pens.

The dogs' excitement when their humans' vehicles pull into the ample parking lot is adorable. They know they're about to have a lot of fun.
