03:11Dogs of all shapes and sizes strutted their stuff at this year’s Howl-o-ween parade in Melbourne on Sunday, showcasing an array of spooktacular costumes. From characters in beloved movies like Frozen and Harry Potter to delightful animal-themed onesies featuring adorable ducks and bees, the creativity was in full force.
"The reason we are here today is because I’m absolutely crazy about dogs," said one of the participants. "And when I saw the little franken monster I thought that looks perfect cause he’s a little monster."
Another attendee emphasised the parade's dual purpose: not only was it a fun gathering, but it also served a noble cause—raising funds for Guide Dog Victoria, an organisation dedicated to supporting individuals with low vision by connecting them with guide dogs that assist in their daily lives.
"Plenty of fun dogs, everyone’s dressed up really well so it’s a great day!" he added.
According to the event organizers’ website, participants in the paw parade enjoyed a trick-or-treat trail filled with entertainment, prizes, and a variety of activities.
After the parade, some pet owners were recognised for their 'best-dressed' furry friends, adding another layer of excitement to this festive occasion.
Guide Dog Victoria, established in 1957, continues to play a vital role in the community by enhancing the lives of those with visual impairments, making events like the Howl-o-ween parade a vital part of its fundraising efforts.
