Can someone explain to me why people dress their small children up in animal costumes (not on Halloween, throughout the year) and dress their pet animals up like people? What is up with this phenomenon?

In the case of small children, it’s to make them look cute and cuddlier.

Actually kids have a ton of fun dressing up. My daughter is only two and already loves to dress up as a princess or whatever. But dressing up dogs? I have no answer for you there.Report
