Yatai MTL hosted the event, a showdown between corgis and shibas for the titles of Halloween king, queen and princess.

The event featured seemingly dozens of dogs dressed in their spooky season best, but the judges (including MTL Blog's own Ilana Belfer) awarded top honours to doggos Cherry, Fujisan and Peach.
