After the original date for the Seventh Annual Howl'oween Pet Parade was rained out, some of Glen Cove's cutest furry friends lined down the streets on Saturday, Nov. 5.
Pet owners showed off their creativity by dressing up their lovable pets in costumes. The participating animals included dogs, a cat and even a rabbit.
Some memorable costumes included the characters from the movie “Up,” Thing 1 and Thing 2 from “The Cat In The Hat,” minions from "Despicable Me" and Kentucky fried chicken.
