Petey the Yorkshire Terrier is Wicked!

We mere mortals have to settle for the Oscars, but the latest red carpet affair to be seen at is definitely the 5th Annual Times Square Dog Day Masquerade which took place last Sunday. It’s a free contest open to all-comers which was held on the newly-opened Broadway Plaza between 43rd and 44th Streets .

Glamorous canine contenders strutted their stuff on the catwalk and were projected on to a giant screen for all to see. Top prizes are awarded to the dogs whose costumes best illustrated Times Square’s past or present - which includes paying tribute to the new crop of Broadway shows. Hence the picture to your left which I could not resist! It shows Petey the Yorkshire terrier as the Witch from the hit show Wicked!
