Here at FetchDog, we are big believers in dressing dogs to protect them from rain and snow, as well as getting excited about the coming Halloween holiday.

But there are other occasions that call for a dog dressed to the canines, and that's where this book comes in handy. With these step-by-step patterns, each helpfully illustrated with photos, you can easily create adorable getups for Spot to wear whenever the spirit moves. How about an Uncle Sam outfit for July 4th, or a Flower frock for Easter?  

After leafing through this book, I now feel fully prepared for the annual Halloween parade hosted by Brooklyn's BARC Shelter, where dog people go the whole hog in costuming their canines. This is significant, because I'm sewing-challenged.

Even if you don't get around to picking up scissors, needle, and thread to craft a clever costume, it's a treat to look at the brilliant photographs of, say, a French bulldog in a Frenchman's costume complete with jaunty beret and horizontally-striped shirt - or a Dalmatian dressed up as Pierrot.
