The spookiest holiday of them all is right around the corner! The time for scares and the time to be someone or something you’re not for pure enjoyment. This means the costume brainstorming must begin. Of course, Halloween is not just about dressing up yourself, but dressing up your dog. Sometimes dogs can even be a main component to someone’s costume. For example, your dog could be used to be Toto for Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz. On the other hand, dressing up your dog can just be for self enjoyment and amusement to others. Dogs usually seem completely miserable when they’re owners decide to dress them up, but they get many compliments and look adorable.
