Howl-oween! Proud pet owners share their beloved animals’ frighteningly cute Halloween costumes, from knife-wielding Dorkies to hot dog dachshunds

It seems to get bigger and better every year – but this Halloweenit wasn’t just trick-or-treaters who did their best with their costumes.
Proud pet owners across the country took the opportunity to dress up their beloved animals for the occasion.
Even though it was supposed to be the spookiest night of the year, we’re sure these adorable costumes melted more hearts than instilled fear.
While some yesterday opted for crowd-favorite pumpkin or witch, others went with Chucky outfits – inspired by the 1988 horror comedy Child’s Play, about a murderous doll that comes to life.
