The stars came out and went completely to the dogs Saturday afternoon during The Sun’s 10th Annual Canine Halloween Costume Contest. There were plenty of celebrity sightings, including the team of “Bark Obama” and “Mutt Romney,”

Richard Simmons in very short shorts, a peacock, some pirates, crustaceans, an elephant, a party animal, a witch and an Ewok, just to name a few. Sixteen of the 34 entrants took home trophies, and all the pooches earned congratulatory prize ribbons for their efforts.
