Dressing up your dog for Halloween -- is it cruel? Arguably. Adorable? Absolutely. We pored through piles of pictures of outfitted pups (and a few other species) to find our very favorite shots, all highlighted below. Click here to send us pictures of your pets getting ready for trick-or-treat.Looking through the pictures might make you realize that these animals have better costume ideas than you do -- time to get thinking about what you'll be. Leave your suggestions in the comments! (AOL Shopping also has some great stuff for two-legged types.)
