Trick or Treat



Experts have gotten together for a serious symposium to discuss a very important issue: Do dogs get embarrassed when their owners dress them up in Halloween costumes? One expert says that "Yes, of course dogs are humiliated when they are made to dress up like a clown or Snow White. Dogs know when humans are laughing at them." Another study said that dogs hate to stand out. In nature, wolves that stand out often fall victim to attack. Since I am a dog, I will tell you the real answer. You can dress me up in something comfortable, that is not scratchy or too tight. No hats please, and no masks. Scuba dog: NO; Taco dog: OK. Then if you take me Trick or Treating for candy, it's all good!
