A Shih Tzu Puppy in a Dinosaur Hood Is the Cutest Thing on the Block
A fluffy black-and-white Shih Tzu puppy stands on the sidewalk in a green dinosaur costume, complete with a hooded cap and a row of tiny spikes down his back. His dark eyes look up shyly, his little black nose gleams, and his long fur frames his face. Behind him, a porch and a pumpkin sit in the soft light. The little tail of the costume trails behind him on the pavement, and his tiny paws are turned slightly inward.
Shih Tzus were bred as companion dogs, and they are usually affectionate, playful, and happy to sit in a lap. Their long coats need regular brushing, and the hair around their eyes often needs trimming. Short walks, gentle play, and plenty of time with their family keep a Shih Tzu content.
A hood can cover a dog's ears and eyes, so make sure he can see and hear well. Fit matters: it should not pinch, restrict walking, or rub his skin. Start by letting him sniff the costume, then offer treats while he wears it for a minute or two. Gradual steps make dress-up easier for a puppy.
We can call him Rex. He is far too small to be scary, but with the spikes, the hood, and those big eyes, he is the most lovable dinosaur on the block. Every neighborhood should have a miniature dinosaur like this one, especially one that is so well-behaved on the sidewalk.
