Furry Tails: Vote On PTL Penguin's Howl-O-Ween Costumes

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- We all know kids, and a lot of adults too, love dressing up for Halloween, but what about our pets?

The National Retail Federation says pet owners plan on spending $490 million this year on costumes for their furry friends.

It's a trend that continues to grow.

According to the trends data site SEMRush, people are thinking of these top 10 outfits for their dogs this Howl-o-ween:

  • Spider
  • Ewok
  • Lion
  • Batman
  • Shark
  • Dinosaur
  • UPS Driver
  • Dragon
  • Harry Potter
  • Pumpkin

It's such a fun trend, Pittsburgh Today Live's service puppy-in-training, Penguin, is getting in on the action.

During his weekly visit ahead of the spooky holiday, his mom, Jill, brought along four adorable costumes. Now, #TeamPTL wants you to vote for your favorite!

Penguin, a Canine Companions for Independence puppy, dressed up as a teddy bear, Dumbo, and of course, a penguin and a Pittsburgh Penguin.
