10 Halloween Costumes for a Date with Your Dog

Brave Halloween night by dressing in the theme of the Discovery Network's hit TV show "Deadliest Catch." Deck out your dog in a yellow whaler jacket and hat and put on a King Crab costume to represent the fishermen that risk their lives by catching crab on each episode.

Turn your pet into Posh (Victoria Beckham) with a pair of dog sunglasses and dress like David Beckham by wearing a Galaxy team soccer jersey. If Becks has an injury that week, play up his boo-boo with bandages.

As "The Wizard of Oz" is always a popular choice on Halloween, both the canines and humans have a variety of costumes to choose from. Your pet can play the part of Dorothy or the Scarecrow or you can be Dorothy or the Scarecrow to complete your journey down the yellow brick road.

Have you ever been told that you "look like someone?" This is the get up for you. Dress the pup as a security guard with this yellow security jacket and you can work it out as the Celebrity doppelganger that all your friends wish you were.

The Yoda dog costume is hands down my favorite. There's something about those green elvin ears that crack me up! Your dog can also dress as Princess Leia or Darth, and you have a multitude of "Star Wars" character costumes to choose from.

Because of the ongoing popularity of the latest Batman movie, "The Dark Knight," you can bet that Halloween will see its share of dynamic duos. However, the hot costume coupling will be the Joker (the late Heath Ledger) and Batman (Christian Bale). Batman costumes can be found at most any outlet and here are the Joker doggie duds.

Squeaky-clean Disney costumes come in all shapes and sizes. Your dog can be Peter Pan or Tinkerbell and you can be the matching elf or pixie. Pick from a colorful array of Disney favorites done up as dog costumes from Mickey Mouse to Buzz Lightyear. And you can be any just about Disney character you wish to complete the coupling.

And the winner is...your dog as Spongebob and you as Patrick Star.

The dog dressed as a hot dog is a guaranteed laugh on Halloween. All you need to do is put on a ketchup or mustard costume to take home the "Best Food or Concession-Themed Costume" trophy.

Holy couples on Halloween are always a big hit. Consider the divine duo of a Rabbi dog and his or her matzo master. You can buy the dog Rabbi costume and the matzo counterpart can be achieved by purchasing a few yards of a matzo cracker print fabric and wearing it as a shawl or a full-on suit if you're friendly with a seamstress. If you want to go the Catholic route, check out the dog priest or dog nun costume paired with you as the Pope.
