One of the best proofs of this statement is the Halloween Dog Parade that recently sent shivers down the streets of New York. When these pups dressed as all sorts of famous characters ventured out to spread the spookiness while showing off their festive outfits, the internet was all over them in an instant. Scroll down to check them out! More info: Tompkins Square Dog Run The event first came to life at the Tompkins Square Dog Run in Tompkins Square Park way back in the 1980s as a way for the locals to celebrate establishing the very first official dog run in the park. The dog run meant not only a nice hub for dog lovers but also the transformation of a previously unsafe space near their homes, and thus, the celebration was well deserved. The number of participants has steadily increased for a good while now, but it saw its biggest jump in attendance after the COVID restrictions were lifted. With the parade growing into a bigger and bigger thing each year, it reached the point where organizing and overseeing it became quite a challenge. While full of love for the dog run and its parade, the stress and never-ending issues of organizing such a massive thing have exhausted the man to the point where there is no more passion left to take it all upon himself. “You get burned out,” John shared. “There’s only so much you can do.” If you were there at the start of it, chances are you’ll be nostalgic over those times and wholeheartedly prefer how it was in the past. But everything has an end, and we should learn to love it because every end is the beginning of something new. And just because those new things take the place of the old things you love, it doesn’t necessarily mean they’re bad. Which was your favorite costume? Have you ever participated in this parade?
