On October 29th, Gothamist photographer Amy Finkel attended the 18th Annual Great PUPkin Dog Costume Contest at Fort Greene Park, Brooklyn and captured amazing photos and a really adorable video of dogs (and their humans) dressed up in clever little costumes that pleased the crowd.

Plenty of pups brought their A-game, but the first-place prize ultimately (and deservedly!) went to the Doggie Llama, while the Fürrestree pup was awarded second place, and the Milkman Joke pup took home the third-place prize. Among the honorably-mentioned cotumes were the Shrink-O-Matic, which shrunk big pups into small; a flashy internet-breaking dog dressed as Kim Kardashian with champagne; and a pup dressed as the always-topical Construction on Myrtle Avenue.
