Trick- or-Treats

The idea of dressing up a dog is in no way a custom of modern times. Ancient Greek drawings provide evidence that dogs were in fact domesticated by this point in human history. Not only do these drawings depict dogs as a close companion to humans, but also, show dogs dressed in elaborate collars and costumes. The Ancient Egyptians even depicted their god Anubis with a dog-like head on a human body dressed in sacred garments.

In order to keep this tradition of human and dog camaraderie, I chose to dress my dog up for Halloween. I believe this tradition not only helps to express mine, but also my dog's personality.
