To cosplay as a dog, first choose a dog breed that fits your appearance and personality! For example, if you have curly hair, try dressing as a Cocker Spaniel or a Poodle. Or, if you want a tougher look, try dressing up as a Bulldog or Pitbull. To dress the part, wear clothing the color of your dog breed. You’ll also want to buy or make dog ears and wear boots for paws. To transform your face, use some brown paint or makeup to give yourself a dog nose.
