Our local Octoberfest is kicked off with the Weiner Dog Race. All participants are required to wear a costume much like [this](http://www.glamourdog.com/hotdiggitydog.html) one.

Even though I’m generally opposed to dressing up your pets, the costume in the OP was pretty funny. It looks like someone spent a lot of time making that.
