For nearly a week, Patch readers have been uploading awesome photos of costumed pets. We've crowned our winner.

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!
