A Rottweiler Pup Dressed as a Pumpkin Guarded the Doorstep

The costume is bright orange with a little green stem on top, and the puppy inside it is black, tan and very serious. A Rottweiler puppy sits on a concrete doorstep with his head turned to one side, watching something down the street. A dark door mat lies at his feet, a pot of orange mums sits by the wall and a worn shoe waits near the entry. His broad little head and plush pumpkin body make a funny contrast.

Rottweilers are strong, loyal dogs that were originally used as herders and guardians. They are usually devoted to their families, but their size means that early training and socialization matter a great deal. A puppy that meets friendly people, sounds and places in a positive way grows into a more confident adult. Short, fun lessons and plenty of chewing options help, and a trainer or your vet can guide you. A costume should be light and loose, with no part blocking the eyes, nose or mouth, and removed if he seems uneasy.

A pumpkin costume suits a dog with a round head and sturdy build, and this puppy wears his with a serious frown. He is clearly on watch for the trick-or-treaters, ready to meet each one with a wagging tail, once he has decided they are friends. For now the doorstep is his, and the pumpkin outfit makes him look like the friendliest guard in town.
