Halloween 2024

Dozens of dogs competed in this year’s Halloween Dog Costume Contest. Our judges, ANC Commissioner Anthony Thomas-Davis, and 11th & Bark Board Members Rohan Luktuke and Sheila Koohpai, picked the top three winners in four categories: Most Original, Cutest, Best Human and Dog Combo, and Scariest. Thanks to everyone who supported the event and competed in the contest. Although only three dogs received ribbons in each category, they are all winners to us!
