Cosplaying pooches get artsy with elaborate costumes, even before Halloween arrives.
While you’d think that Shiba Inu are cute enough without going to all the trouble of dolling themselves up, two cosplaying dogs from Japan, S-kun and H-chan, show that the sky’s the limit when it comes to canine costuming. No cosplayer worth their salt passes up a chance to don the classic schoolgirl costume, and in the case of these two pups neither gender nor species are any obstacle. While we can’t be sure, S-kun and H-chan may have had some help with the artwork but that hasn’t stopped them modelling the creations with aplomb.

https://twitter.com/jetpack/status/922511386801872896While, to paraphrase Jermaine Stewart, they don’t have to take their costumes off to have fun, Shiba Inu are just as cute when they’re not dressed up to the nines, even when they’re angry. When even the pets are dressing up though, you know Halloween must be getting big in Japan. If you prefer your costume-wearing eye candy to be of the human variety, or if you’re looking for some last-minute ideas, check out some of the costumes we spotted on the streets of Shibuya last year.
