13 Dog Sweaters To Keep Your Best Friend Warm This Winter
Lately, I've been spending a lot of time thinking about how I can stay warm. Should I bundle myself in a blanket coat? Stock up on scarves? Layer with leggings? (Yes, yes, and yes.)
But every day the Internet reminds me that cute furry friends exist — and don't they deserve to be swaddled too? Of course. I mean, pets have to go to the bathroom outside ... where it's cold! This is why dog sweaters are necessary.
Okay, so they're probably not really necessary, but are certainly a source of amusement for us homo sapiens. In the same way that food disguised as another food is fascinating, isn't there something fun about pets wearing human clothes? It's peculiar in the most perfect way and I'm going to be so bold as to say that even people who aren't crazy animal lovers still enjoy a good pic of a puppy in costume.
So, since we all agree that seeing dogs dressed up is right up there with things like cookie butter cups and rap star Daniel Radcliffe, here are 13 pictures of dogs in sweaters with information on where to buy them.
