10 Costumes Inspired By Cute Pups

by Rikki Byrd

CONFESSION: My 7-year-old Shih Tzu has almost as many clothes as I do. It might be a problem, even though I don't consider it such. She has about five coats for varying weather temperatures. She has silver booties. She also has a hooded sweatshirt from my alma mater. Her name is Klassi, and I'd like to believe that class (even when spelled with a "K") requires a certain level of style. There hasn't been any discussion on what she will be this Halloween, but in the past she has been a space cadet and a pumpkin. This year it's time to get a bit more creative.

Yesterday, pups let their "alter ego shine" at the 24th annual Halloween Parade at Tompkins Square, and things got pretty serious. From dragons to princesses, hot dogs to superheroes, the park was filled with wolf-worthy costumes sure to put whatever you have prepped for next Friday to shame. If you haven't decided on a costume yet, or perhaps your Frozen get-up is a little subpar, take a cue from these adorable dogs as you get geared up for a howling Halloween.
