Mum's best friend! 10 Halloween costume ideas for your dog

There can be no denying the fact that our dogs are a very important part of the family.

With this in mind, we decided to include our pups in the Halloween festivities. 

Here is a list of the best doggie dress-ups we have ever seen (prepare to feel inspired)…

1. Beanie babies

This one is so simple, yet so ADORABLE. Create your very own, life size beanie baby by making your canine pal a 'TY' tag.

 

I'm a mouse, duh.

2. Lions

Give your pup a lion's mane, and simply enjoy the photo opportunities.
