Halloween is a great time to get creative and dress up in an epic homemade costume. But you know what’s even better than scoping out the human Halloween costume scene?

Watching a bunch of dogs parade around in their impawsibly cute Howl-o-ween costumes, of course!

If you’ve been searching for some dogs who take dressing up on to the next level, you’re in luck. The world’s largest Halloween dog parade recently returned to Tompkins Square Park in New York City and hundreds of costume-clad dogs showed up for the occasion.

If you didn’t have a chance to make it to the parade, you’ll be glad to know that the pupperazzi was out in full force to capture every minute of this glorious event, and the pictures do not disappoint by any means. No really, I’m serious. These dressed-up doggos are probably the best damn thing you’ll see all day.

When it comes to rocking a seriously impressive Halloween costume…

Some dogs looked to their favorite cartoons for some costume inspiration, like this Rick and his mutt Morty.

While others opted for Disney characters such as this doggy Crewella DeVille...

Yep, it’s not hard to see why everyone likes this dog parade a latte.

These creative costumes are doggone adorable.

These dogs and their owners certainly deserve a-round-of-appaws.

Unfortunately, we're all going to have to wait another whole year until we witness this epic display of Howl-o-ween spirit again.

But hey, that gives you just enough time to adopt a dog and start working on a costume for next year's pup-filled parade.
