In: German Shepherds

There’s a reason dogs are man’s best friend: they are brave animals who are noble and helpful to humans. These traits shine through in this story:

According to Shareably, Shannon Lorio was driving through rural Georgia one day. As she approached a sharp curve, she lost control of the vehicle and wrecked her car in a ditch. Lorio was thrown from her car and onto the top of the trunk. Lorio was concussed and unable to move. The wreck site was far from the road and it was unlikely anyone would notice.

Then, out of nowhere, a stray dog began to kiss her face. The dog took Lorio by her shirt and dragged her back to the road and made effort to track down a car. Someone noticed what was going on and managed to get Lorio to a nearby hospital.

Lorio rescued the pup and named him Hero.

Hero was later adopted by a dog trainer and now has a future Search and Rescue dog.

In the end, they rescued each other.

Your dog loves Halloween as much as you do. Getting dressed up in a costume? Posing for pictures while everyone laughs and high fives their human friend? They love it.

While that may not be entirely true, your dog can’t vocally tell you otherwise, so we suggest you continue dressing your dog in the most creative, hilarious ways possible on October 31st.

The urge to do a countdown is too large… so we scoured Instagram to find the most amazing, absurd and creative costumes people have graced their four legged friends with.

Top 10 Hound Halloween Getups

#10 : When the tail-wagger in your life is dressed up as a super-hero – he plays the part & embraces the role… making Batman an obvious contender.

#9 : When you’re able to make the best of a rotten situation on Halloween, you grab that opportunity. He’s not impressed… but if he only knew just how clever it is, he’d probably have a change of heart.

#8 : Cheap, creative and comfortable. What more could a dog want?

#7 : “I feel pretty…oh, so pretty.” Patience and beauty give this hound a deserved spot on our list.

#6: If you, as a dog are able to make the appropriate sound to accompany the costume – we’re impressed.

#5: When a Husky pulls off a hot dog costume better than a wiener dog, it should be acknowledged.

#4: We’re not sure how this Boxer’s human parents convinced them to keep this pig nose on his face, but we love it.

#3: We triple dog dare you to find a better looking Lion-Dog.

#2: Creativity, effort and natural ability to pull it off earned Waldo major bonus points!

#1: A dog skeleton!? Homemade!? They doesn’t even know they’re in costume?! Without a doubt – this had to top the list at number one for creativity and comfort.

There you have it, Bullymake’s Top 10 Hound Halloween Getups!

And don’t forget to spoil your pooch this Howl-O-Ween too! [See below].
