Our photo contest this week attracted dozens of photos of pets in costumes.

But we could only choose one.

All photos uploaded before 6 p.m. yesterday were under consideration to be crowned the winner in Patch's Picture of the Week Contest.

This wasn't an easy decision! After deliberating, we had to go with the "super-dog" uploaded by Michael Trosen.

Congratulations, Michael, and thank you to all those who participated!

Michael, we'll be emailing you so we can make arrangements to get you your $25 gift card.

Return to Patch tomorrow, when you can start uploading pictures for our next photo contest: local (youth and high school) sports!
