As much fun as it is to see our kids dress up in cute Halloween costumes, getting the family pets in on the dress-up action makes the holiday even more fun -- not to mention hilarious and adorable.

And if any city knows how to throw a great Halloween pet party, it's New York. Just last weekend the 22nd annual Tompkins Square Halloween Dog Parade took place -- and plenty of festive pups turned out for the event.

Get a load of this little guy dressed up like a lobster -- isn't he about the best looking crustacean you've ever seen?

And plenty of people dress up their pets each Halloween, regardless of whether or not they have a parade to attend.

Take a look at these photos to see some of the cutest Halloween dog costumes around!
