Dozens of costumed canines get their chance to trick-or-treating at Howloween event in Michigan

Up to 200 dogs and their owners participate in the annual event where pets wear creative costumes and receive treats as part of a safe Halloween celebration.

  • On Friday in Lansing, costumed dogs paraded through Michigan's capital as part of the annual Howloween event organized by Preuss Pets, a local pet store.
  • To manage turnout, organizers cap dogs at 200 and require owners to pre-register, limiting numbers for safety's sake.
  • Highlighting costumes, Mojo, 9-year-old St. Bernard, celebrated its first Halloween while the 13-year-old Pomeranian rolled in a tank, and Bella `got filled up on biscuits` before a nap.
  • Along the route, costumed dogs looped through Lansing's Old Town arts district, with owners and onlookers giving treats and attention, and residents said they wait all year for the event.
  • Owners often go above and beyond on costumes, and event observers said `You see the cutest things`, as Makenzie Smith-Emrich accompanied Sadie, pitbull, dressed as a kissing booth pumpkin.
