THE Courtyard Coffee House celebrated Cheshire’s four-legged friends in a spooky contest competition on Sunday, with dozens of dogs taking part.

Matilda the pug scooped first prize with her bat outfit, taking home a hamper donated by Betty & Butch.

If that wasn’t enough to get tails wagging, all pups received a doggy bag.

Paul Adams of Knutsford Veterinary Surgery, who picked out the winner, said: "It's great to see a variety of breeds taking part and so much effort by their owners into their dog's outfits."
