<h2><a href="http://inhabitat.com/greenhalloweencontest/bat-pup-dog-costume/" target="_blank">Bat Pup Dog</a></h2> Is there anything cuter than a puppy wearing tiny costume wings?

<h2><a href="http://inhabitat.com/katie-mello-creates-hilarious-star-wars-at-at-costume-for-dogs/" target="_blank">Star Wars AT-AT</a></h2> If you’re feeling particularly ambitious this year, try your Je-DIY hand at this stunning Star Wars AT-AT dog costume.

<h2><a href="http://www.inhabitots.com/greenhalloweencontest/good-dog-gone-bad/" target="_blank">Zombie Dog</a></h2> This <a href="http://www.inhabitots.com/greenhalloweencontest/good-dog-gone-bad/" target="_blank">zombie dog</a> costume is easily created with a bit of creative grooming. Use Pet Paint for blood accents, BarkArt Blow Pens for brains, Dog Crayons around the eyes, fried rice as maggots, and candy blood as blood. Some hand-cut stencils create the illusion of leg and paw bones, and latex and some shedding hair make for pretty realistic zombie flesh. Now that's a good dog gone bad.
