The best way to get ahead is to make it yourself. It's meaant to be a Wolf, but it resmbles one of the dogs we live with, a German Shepherd mix. She surpassed my expectations of her intelligence by not barking madly at it.
I used one of those microfiber plush blankets for the body of the costume and glued pieces of it to parts of the face with MOD PODGE(i love mod podge). In related news I've discovered a time-consuming method for coating one's hands, workspace, and immediate vicinity with short white fuzz.
Possibly one of the creepiest things I've made.
Had tomassacre a teddy bear for the fluffy bits. the extra stuffing went into a slightly flattened-down pillow which is now much improved. Use every part of the buffalo, ya know?
better pics tomorrow...
This is wonderful!
