Things to do in Chicago with Dogs: Miss M and Mr. B go Dog Trick-or-Treating

Being a city that loves to extend its celebrations in the streets, this entire weekend was filled with Halloween-happenings allover Chicago. You could barely turn the corner without bumping into a Where's Waldo or Miley Cyrus like-alike.
The pups tested out their Couples Costumes, Thing 1 and Thing 2, as we headed out to a new-to-us event: Dog trick-or-treating by Be Fido's Friend dog rescue. The pups' were able to wear their wigs the whole time, but with the wind sometimes it became a bit more of a Flock of Seagulls look:

This was one of our favorite events that we've been to, because it really did have it all. It started at North Community Bank parking lot where they had dog-centric festival activities: bobbing for hotdogs (and apples), toy puzzles, a Photo Booth area, raffle and we were given a big reusable bag.
Then, the pups actually got to go trick-or-treating. Nearly 30 local restaurants, bars and shops participated in dog-trick-or treating. Dogs were invited into their stores where the were handing out dog treats and often people treats and samples.
It included a lot of petting and handing out of treats where ever they went. It was Miss M's dream come true.

We liked that everything was at your own pace, so we didn't even have to arrive at a specific time and we could choose to make the walk as long or short as we wanted. The walk spanned about 2-3 miles so it was nice that all the dogs were spaced out, but it was really fun to so all of the dogs on different parts of the street decked out in their gear.
The sponsors were beyond nice as they welcomed the pups into their stores. Some of the restaurants even had mulled wine, lemonade, falafel and pizza for the people. We are excited to go back to support them. The event was really well done and the organizers did an amazing job.
The pooches got quite a lot of treats; enough to fill up 2 treat jars. We asked Miss M if she would like to donate her treats to dogs at the shelter who might not have gotten any treats for Halloween. Can you guess what she said?

Happy Halloween!
