# Costumed canines take over Main Street for Day of the Dog

The Day of the Dog, billed by the organizers as "North America’s Largest Dog Festival", returned to Santa Monica on Sunday, October 18. The afternoon was hot and the street was packed. Dogs cooled off in a snow play area and lapped up ice-cold Pawp Water from the can (a hydration drink for dogs), while vendors sold treats, clothing and accessories to canines and humans alike. This year, doggie crocs and elaborate custom flotillas (or dog strollers) were in. Scroll through the photos below and decide for yourself: who was top dog? The pawstumes No. 1: A dog dressed as "Dogzilla" reigns terror
