Seven years ago, Sue Subkow, a dog lover, set up a Halloween party for a group of fifteen dogs.  Half of the dogs were dressed up and half were not. A year later the size doubled and Subkow started handing out awards for the best costumes.  Today this Halloween party for dogs now consists have over a thousand dogs and about eighty of them dress up for the occasion!
Over the past several years, the popularity for dog Halloween costumes has risen.  In 2010, the American Pet Products Association said that nine percent of dog owners have purchased a Halloween costume for their dog.  Subkow isn't the only person who arranges Halloween gatherings for dogs and their owners.  In Highland Virginia, people gather with the local fire fighters from station 19 to throw a pet Halloween party.  

The fire fighters use it as an easy way to get involved with the community and build relationships with the citizens they protect.  The real allure of this party is gathering with other enthusiastic pet owners that understand the bond you share with you pet.  It is also a fun way to get kids together and participate in activities with their pets and friends.  

So, try a Halloween pet party with your friends this month it could be a lot of fun!
