And on Halloween, you can take that bond with your beloved pup one step further by dressing up together—because honestly, the only thing cuter than a traditional couples costume is a group costume with someone who’s furry and four-legged. So, what should your canine companion dress up as this year? Read on to discover the perfect dog Halloween costumes.
