Hilarious Dog Costumes (UPDATE)

Dress Up Your Doggy as Shrek or Darth Vader

With the sorts of grooming, pampering, costumes and general harassment -which we mistake for loving care- that we inflict upon our animals, most pet owners welcome October with open arms, amped up and ready to search out hilarious dog Halloween costumes with which to further torture their animals.

The hilarious dog Halloween costumes that are available certainly do not classify as scary, but they do classify as cute (even when the dog is so clearly dissatisfied with having to don the outfit).

My personal favorites are the basset hound with a fake knife through its head, the Darth Vader pug and the alligator attire.
