Someone is ready for an elegant evening affair.
Maybe a wedding? An award ceremony? Perhaps a formal ball?
Whatever the event may be, Clifford, the Golden Retriever, is certainly dressed to the nines!
“Is he a handsome boy or what?” Clifford’s pet pappa asks on TikTok.
Most definitely! Take a look!
The black-and-white tuxedo bib against Clifford’s fluffy fur really suggests this good-looking boy is ready to paint the town as red as his gorgeous coat.
Fans just can’t get enough of this stylin’ fella!

“Such a precious, pretty baby,” said a viewer.

Of course, not everyone can pull off this look. It’s all about confidence, and the way I see it, this pup is dripping with it!
Do Dogs Actually Like To Play Dress-Up?
Of course, whether dogs like wearing a costume varies by individual pooch, with some enjoying the attention and others finding it stressful. If you’re like me and love dressing up your pets for Halloween (or any holiday, really), the key is to introduce costumes gradually, using positive reinforcement, like treats and praise, and to watch for signs of discomfort, such as aggression or struggling to move. Let’s face it, we play dress-up for our own amusement, but it’s important to prioritize your pet’s comfort and safety over fashion.

With these factors in mind, let me remind you that the 2026 National Dress Up Your Pet Day is Wednesday, January 14.
And as a public service announcement, allow me to share some helpful tips to maximize your enjoyment of this special day.
First, consider getting matching outfits for you and your pet babies! Next, make sure to take lots of pictures and plaster them across your social channels. (Use #DressUpYourPetDay on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.)
Lastly, dogs get cold, too, so with much of the country likely to be in the throes of winter, come January, put your dog in a sweater if they’re going to be walking around in the elements for long periods!
Have a great holiday season!
