Pet parents love to dress up their dogs in adorable costumes, no matter what time of year it is. Many dog owners purchase their pups a themed outfit for every holiday, not to mention cute dog bandanas and hoodies for everyday wear. It's not often that humans dress up for their pet's benefit, but a golden retriever's pawrents in Ohio did exactly that.
