You can thank the Celts for celebrating Samhain 2000 years ago because they believed that the dead came back to life on the night of October 31. Some villagers even went as far as donning animal skins to scare unwelcome spirits away.
But we can also thank Charles Schultz and Walt Disney for popularizing the phrase “trick or treat” in 1951 and 1952 respectively through their cartoon character creations.
These days, everyone dresses up on Halloween to have fun. That “everyone” includes our beloved pets.
So, if you have a dog and you still haven’t bought any spooky dog accessories, here’s a list:
