DOG DO IN GAYFIELD SQUARE

Submitted by Editor on

Over 100 local residents and at least 50 of their canine companions attended this afternoon’s Halloween Parade in Gayfield Square.

Some humans and most dogs arrived in costume.

It was easy to tell which dogs had made an effort. It was not always easy to say whether the humans had arrived in disguise or were simply displaying a distinct subset of Broughton fashion.

Regardless, a good time was had by all – with prizes donated by a range of local businesses proving particularly popular.

The photographs below show those dogs we managed to to snap standing or still. Many others proved too active or camera-shy.

Prizewinners are marked with an asterisk. We begin with Kora,* who came as a sheep and won Best in Show.
