Doggie Dress-Up

10 Brutal Pet Halloween Costumes

— October 2, 2008 — Lifestyle
There are few things funnier in life than pets in fancy dress. You can just about get away with it at Christmas, but Halloween is a free-for-all. One of the things that makes it all so funny is the ‘someone just put me down’ expressions on the animals’ faces.

The crocodile dog costume is rather inspired and the ladybird guinea pig is nothing short of genius. Of course the Arab suicide bomber cat is costume creativity--in the form of exceptionally bad taste.

The main image is from Croc-eats-dog promotion for Neunkircher Zoologischen Garten. It was created by Scholz & Friends, Berlin.
