It is a natural phenomena for people to dress their pets in funny costumes. The most well-known pet costume is the very obvious dachshund dressed as a hotdog. This amusing costume wins a lot of laughs and often some attention from passers-by. Here are a few more funny and cute pet costumes.

• The Cerberus dog costume wins an honorable mention because it’s such an amusing addition to a dog. This costume, depicting a mythological creature, is found in many stories, including Harry Potter.
• The pikachu cat deserves a spot in the mix. This costume, even though it’s painted on, is a cute replica of a cartoon that many kids born in the 80s watched avidly.
• Umpa Lumpa dog has won a spot on the list. This costume has Charlie and The Chocolate Factory written all over it. Fortunately enough for the dog, it is something that most of us enjoy.
• Skunk dog costumes wins an “awwww” on the funny/cute scale. This costume puts your pet into a stinky like state. Then again there is nothing that can say, “my dog stinks,” better than a skunk costume.
• The Yoda dog also deserves a place in nerd fame cuteness. This costume, attracting all of the Star Wars fans, is sure to be a hit at any Halloween party.
• One of the best costumes yet would have to be the Sarah Palin Pooch. This costume mimicking Sarah Palin makes a smashing costume in both political commentary and cute amusement.
• Lion Dog is probably one of the best and worst of the dog costumes. It depicts I have a creative idea on how to shave my dog and also I am REALLY bored.
