These [ghost outfits for dogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barkbox-collection) has to top the [spooky costumes for pets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pet-crocs) list. They seriously aren’t very scary at all, but I love these images. Especially the ghost team of dogs. They are too funny for my eyes! I had no idea that people put their pets through things like this, or *in* things like this. But then again, it's worth it for a quick laugh so we can all have a cry at their expense. Our dogs can’t see us anyway. And if they could, what are they gonna do? Booo!
