Tick or Treat!
A Picture Gallery of Dogs in Halloween Costumes

It's going to be a real hounded Halloween this year.

For most dogs, tonight is simply an opportunity to exercise the vocal cords by barking incessantly at all the cloaked goons who keep coming by and raiding the candy. (Next thing you know, they'll be inviting themselves in and drinking up all the toilet water. Grrrr.)

This year, our senior editor "Wags" will be dressed up as a sofa cushion. What a stretch.

But other pooches really know how to get into the spirit of things, like these masquerading mutts...

Dante's In-fur-no.
"Betsey" looks a lot like the little red devil that sits on your dog's left shoulder whispering, "Tear up the trash... Tear up the trash..." (Costume: Village Critter Outfitters; Photo: Drew Nadler / Stamford Advocate & Star Tribune)

Is that a pumpkin or a tangerine?

You can never have too many pumpkin pooches. Good thing dogs are color-blind, or they'd be really humiliated. (Photo: Marlin Levison / Star Tribune)

The Wicked Witch of the Woof.
"I'll get you, my pretty, and your little dog, too! Oh, wait... I am the dog."

This is actually a dog disguised as a cat disguised as a bat. Or maybe it's Gene Simmons, lead singer for Kiss. Either way, I'm going to bolt my door. (Photo: Carina / MeanKitty.com)
