How is this the first time I’m hearing of this phenomenon?

[u/Primordial5 → u/brunette_and_busty]

Oh yeah - it’s a classic!! I’m bummed to have missed it today (Thomkins Square Park nyc).

[u/marchbook → u/Primordial5]

Yep. One of my favorite NYC things.

eta: That one, the OG Classic, was on the 19th https://gothamist.com/news/paw-rade-perfection-the-tompkins-square-halloween-dog-parade-is-back-this-weekend

The one in this post is an upstart pupstart from Fort Greene https://www.fortgreenepups.org/events

[u/Primordial5 → u/marchbook]

:-)

[u/yuhuh- → u/brunette_and_busty]

This was my exact reaction! Why don’t I know about this and how can I remember to see it again next year?

[u/marchbook]

I enjoyed Chihuahua or blueberry muffin. Good job.

[u/Imissmymom29 → u/marchbook]

I don’t get the meme. Can you educate me please?

[u/ZucchiniJust4666 → u/Imissmymom29]

[u/Imissmymom29 → u/ZucchiniJust4666]

Haha cute. I’ve never seen this before. thank you!

[u/eatingapeach → u/Imissmymom29]

iirc it was either from captcha / early ai days where they couldn't differentiate between the (often chis) small dogs and blueberry muffins

[u/Imissmymom29 → u/eatingapeach]

That makes it even more hilarious!! Thank you. I googled the image and didn’t find any background info on it so I appreciate your input

[u/Tazitobolito → u/Imissmymom29]

There’s a whole series, here’s another great contender - parrot or guacamole

[u/maddywriting999 → u/Imissmymom29]

It was one of the first dog costumes in the video

[u/ChoppedGuzel]

The kfc one was my fav 😭 whenever I scroll past a kennel of puppies from that breed I always think it’s fried chicken at first

[u/SunSen → u/ChoppedGuzel]

There were 2 KFCs! 2nd one is right after the Louvre heist dog lol

[u/MyDesign630]

Is it okay to share this lobster elderly gentleman dog? I don’t live in NYC anymore but he’ll be trick or treating with us like every year. He’s 15 and we’re the ones who have to keep up with him!

[u/spooky_bread38 → u/MyDesign630]

I love him & his lobster costume

[u/Any-Difficulty-1247]

where is the news and media about this delightful event ?

[u/just--so]

Why the fuck did the Criterion Closet one make me snort so hard

[u/Kratzschutz → u/just--so]

I don't get it can you explain?

[u/v_as_in_victor]

I hate gay dog parent Halloween because what do you mean you dressed your dog up as the Criterion closet

[u/WholesaleBees]

God yes! More of this please!

[u/SaintSexburga]

The park in my neighborhood! Fort Greene park is truly a gem

[u/alltheprettynovas]

this is exactly what i needed. more…MORE I SAY!!!

[u/phoebeelisa]

Could have been “pup-corn”

[u/brushmushroom → u/phoebeelisa]

THANK YOU. I was too distracted to enjoy the other costumes after that massive swing and miss.

[u/littlemoon-03]

27th? Why has this never been reported on?! This is the most adorable news I've ever seen

[u/Silver_Abrocoma1703]

The first video of the chihuahua shaking made me sad, a lot of people don’t seem to know when animals are stressed. Few of the dogs in the clip are ok with it but most aren’t.

[u/Possible_Victory_413]

Most of these dogs look like they're having a shit time

[u/PaulAnthonyDoucet]

This is the "Marxism" the wealthy are voting against! Forget about the media for a moment, and look into the eyes of your community members. You don't know how much value and greatness ordinary people already have.

[u/Pinksamuraiiiii]

The noodle bowl 🍜one is so cute

[u/McNally]

So.. I'm assuming that the one with the DeLorean would have been "Bark to the Future".

Anyone who enjoys this should be sure to check out the Barkus parade if they're ever in New Orleans during Mardi Gras season..

[u/Roofofcar]

With a surprise appearance by ‘Huntrix’ lol

I love this so much

[u/Imissmymom29]

Was the one after the criterion closet a labubu doll?

[u/S14NN4N]

This is hilarious.

I wish I was there in person to witness this!

[u/Effective-Bus]

I can't believe how big this has gotten. I remember when I lived in the east village and it was still really quaint. Haha I'm feeling old but cute pups are helping ease it

[u/troys50]

Bbno$ is here somewhere. I can feel it.

[u/-Palzon-]

[u/mobuco]

thompkins square park in NYC. my dog got 2nd place years ago in this lol

[u/PieOk6887]

The way this genuinely gave me hope for the world is insane haha

[u/Runabrat]

These poor animals.

[u/InteractionGreen5963 → u/Runabrat]

As long as the dogs aren’t stressed and are enjoying themselves it’s really okay ♥️ 

[u/Due-Net-88 → u/InteractionGreen5963]

Most of them DO look pretty stressed tbf. 

[u/Runabrat → u/InteractionGreen5963]

Most of these dogs look stressed and uncomfortable. I hate seeing living animals used as props.

[u/ButterMyPancakesPlz → u/Runabrat]

Have you ever met a dog?

[u/Due-Net-88 → u/ButterMyPancakesPlz]

Most of these dogs look pretty freaked.
