Dozens of dogs and their owners converged on Kingswood, near Fredericton, Saturday afternoon to parade around the golf course in their Halloween best. 

From a scary dragon to a beautiful princess, and even a spider, these costumed canines were proud to show off their attire.

And, in true Halloween fashion, there were more than enough treats to go around.
