This dog looks like he needs to be weaned from his pacifier. I’ll let you tell him though. It looks like he might get a little upset if someone tried to take it away.

I would bet that this Germans shepherd is a Mickey Mouse fan too. Now, all he needs is a pair of mouse ears and he is all set. It looks like he is really enjoying his photo op with Pluto.

This German shepherd must be a fan of “The Lion King.” Here he is all decked out like Simba, his favorite character from the animated classic. I wonder if he is the king of his household.
