Dog lovers showed off their beloved canines on Saturday, Oct. 28, at the annual Doggone Pet Parade in Downtown Crossing. The parade was judged in multiple categories, including best costume, scariest costume, cutest costume, best dog & human duo, and best dog & child duo. More than two hundred participants joined the parade with their four-legged friends, each with their unique costumes.
