Edinburg police officers visited children at the South Texas Health System Children's Hospital in full Halloween costumes.

The officers, along with their new therapy dog, Domino, spent the afternoon doing arts and crafts and delivering treats to pediatric patients and their families.

Officers visited the hospital on Wednesday dressed in costumes such as Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Black Panther and the Ghostbusters. They also went door-to-door to surprise patients who were confined to their hospital rooms due to medical orders.

They also took photos with patients and introduced them to their therapy dog, Domino.

The visit is part of an annual initiative between the Edinburg Police Department and South Texas Health System. Their goal is to provide a welcome distraction to hospitalized children.
