It's official, there's nothing cuter than a dog in a costume. Yes they're ridiculous, and some may argue that it's slightly cruel, but I can speak from personal experience that there are some mutts that just love getting dressed up. And it's clearly not a once off as there are plenty more doggy dress-up fans out there, as proved by these photos that are doing the rounds on the net. Please excuse the pun-derful names. Got a bit carried away. That one up top? We're calling him Sherlock Bones.

If you have your own cute pooch, remember to enter him/her in our Leader Dog Photo Competition where you can win a years supply of dog food!
