Patch Pets: Meet 30 Of Your Best-Dressed Neighbors

Here at Patch, we can't resist a pet in costume. So when National Dress Up Your Pet Day rolled around last Sunday Jan. 14, we just had to ask readers to submit photos of their pets dressed to the nines. Obviously, we were expecting greatness — they are animals in clothes after all.

However, nothing could have prepared us for the flood of hilarity and adorableness that came our way from all over the country. From pups dressed up as flamingos to pigs (yes pigs!) sporting their best outdoor looks, here are some of our favorite four-legged fashion statements.

See if you can spot any familiar furry faces from your own neighborhood:
