Fictional Dog and Owner Duos
Everyone loves dogs, including the fictional ones. Get inspired by your favorite fictional dog and owner duos. There are so many to choose from! These costume ideas are genius, as usually the dog portion of the costume is pretty minimalistic, meaning your dog won’t have to wear too much and can be comfortable. Most of these costume ideas for your dog usually only need a certain collar color and maybe the distinguishable name tag that gets your dog recognized! If you want to go even further, you can try to pick the fictional dog that matches the look of your dog. Here are some fictional dog and owner costumes you can start thinking about:
- Scooby-Doo and Shaggy
- Clifford the Big Red Dog and Emily Elizabeth
- Blue and Steve (from Blue’s Clues)
- Pluto and Mickey Mouse
- Snoopy and Charlie Brown
- Dug and Carl Fredricksen or Russell (from Up)
- Toto and Dorothy
- Wallace and Gromet
- Jake the dog and Finn the human
- Little Red Riding Hood and the wolf
- Jack the pumpkin king and Zero
You don’t necessarily even have to make your dog’s costume based on a fictional dog character. There are a lot of main characters with sidekicks. Maybe decide to switch it up on who dresses as the sidekick and who dresses as the hero. This is a little more creative approach that could have a huge payoff! A costume like this is sure to be memorable for a lot of people.
- Curious George and Ted
- Eeyore and Pooh Bear
- Batman and Robin
- Chewbacca and Han Solo
- Spock and Captain Kirk
- Ariel and Sebastian
- Ash and Pikachu
Dog and Owner Go to Work

There are occupations for dogs that you can actually base your costume off of. Or you can go to ridiculous extremes and put your pup in a job position that they’re likely unqualified for. These costumes are easy to do and funny, and are well worth it if your dog is feeling up to the costume. Try these jobs on for size:
- Police officer
- Fireman
- Business dog and owner (we’re talking business suits!)
- Mail carrier
- Doctors
- Chefs
- Sailors
- Hot dog vendor and hot dog
