12 Adorable Yorkshire Terrier Halloween photos you’ll love

If you have a dog, I guess you might be wondering if this is the time of year your pet would dress up for and why. Animal costumes – or pet costumes – are getting more and more popular with dogs and cats, but did you know that it has been going on since the 1950s?

The first pet costume was worn by Grumpy, a mop-like dog owned by Mrs Wally Byfield in 1953. This started the trend of dressing up pets for celebratory events such as Halloween celebrations.

Over time, who can imagine all of the possible (and sometimes weird) animal costumes which were made! It’s not only limited to just large dogs though; there are plenty of costumes available for your Yorkie!
