NEW YORK - There was a fur-ightening on Saturday as dozens of dogs of all shapes and sizes strutted their stuff as part of the 32nd Annual Tompkins Square Halloween Dog Parade.

This year marked the first time the parade was held in person since the COVID-19 pandemic began, following two years of parades held on Zoom.

The costumed canines competed in multiple categories, including "Best NYC Themed Costume," "Best Food Costume" and "Best Costume on Wheels."

Voting for the winner of Best in Show will begin online on October 23, and the winner will be announced on October 31.
