Over 500 sausage dogs hit London's Hyde Park dressed in festive costumes on Sunday, creating the most magical sight this Christmas.

Pictures from the event show the pooches dressed in elf and santa costumes as well as Christmas jumpers, and other pups are adorned in tinsel for the walk.

Speaking before the event, organiser Ana Rodriguez told Metro: "We have a Christmas special or a Halloween special.

"This one, we expect, is going to be the biggest. It is a growing group.

"It is a good way to socialise the dogs with the same breed and to meet more dog owners. They love to play with their own breed and I think it is really good for them."

Thomas Brand, who brought his dog Teddy along to the walk, said: "We love how many people are here. Everyone seems really happy and Teddy really loves it."

Only sausage dog owners and their pups could take part in the event, although you could still watch if you didn't have a doggo to take along with you and were in the area.

If you're looking for a way to celebrate your four legged friends this Christmas, then Monsoon is selling adorable dog-themed baubles.
