All of these dogs have the "what I have to done wrong to deserve this?" look in their eyes.
Love the post title.

Dog #1 has a very Brian Cox as Hannibal Lecktor look. If my dog looked at me like that, I would stop whatever I was doing to her- immediately.

If I could crawl through the internet and hit people with sticks, I would. Poor doggies.

I used to think the exact same thing when I saw animals in costumes (or clothing in general.) Then my girlfriend told me that her roommate's Boston terrier has a tendency to drag his chicken costume out of the closet and drop it at her feet so she would put it on him. Apparently he's associated it with getting attention and petting and generally cooed over.

Speaking of Corgis, it's apparently very popular to dress up Corgis as bananas.

The look on #15's face makes me want to track that dog down and personally apologize.

I have no idea how these people got their dogs wedged into their costumes, or why.

I think the reason why this fails for me as opposed to beedogs is that the beedogs are dogs wearing bee costumes that make use of the dog's own face and eyes to complete the look. I look the dog in the eye and I see both the dog and the bee costume together as one. Lobsterdogs have lobster eyes stuck on top of the dog's own head, which to me doesn't subconciously comes across as a dog dressed as a lobster, with some other thing stuck on top of them. Is the lobster supposed to be eating the dog?
That plus the fact that the lobsters are all steamed and dead.

Speaking of dog costumes, I have this idea; it's awful, but I'm going to do it anyway.
One of the local pet stores has a yearly pug race. And since sprinting towards a goal is not a natural state for a pug, It's absurd and lots of fun, and I use it as a photographic honeypot for cuteness.
Then it occurred to me that I have a dog. Sure, he's not a pug, but the size is sort of close, so one of these years, I'm going to make him a costume. It's going to be made of tan stocking material, stuffed with padding and googly bug-eyes with a curly tail.
I'm going to turn my rat terrier into a pug for the purposes of racing.
Of course, he won't win, because while unbelievably fast, he has the attention span of, well, a rat terrier. But just to see him competing would make it all worthwhile.
If nothing else, the pictures are going to be magnificent.

The dogs may look sad, but they mostly look like they're hoping for their owner's approval. #21 is proof that cats are the superior species.

You'd have to be some sort of genius or wizard to figure that out.

This made me think of Homer's giving his pet lobster Pinchy a bath. Sniff. Poor Pinchy.
