Check out paw-some highlights from the third annual Wagoween Charleston! This epic Halloween costume contest for dogs helped the LENS Foundation raise over $23,000 for the Charleston Police Department's K9 Unit and public safety initiatives.

Sponsored by dog-about-town Pip and Anson Restaurant, the event included a K9 Unit demonstration while Watson & Holmes, the hero horses of the Mounted Patrol, greeted community members.

Bradley Carter of Bravo TV's Southern Hospitality and News2 anchor Hanna Powers co-hosted and judged the howl-arious costume contest. LENS is seeking a generous business or donors to match these funds. ‪
