Pope of pooches: Americans dress up their woofies to meet Pope Francis

BBC story

From the article:

From Florida to New York and Pennsylvania dog owners have been dressing their pets in canine papal outfits with the hashtag #popedog on Instagram.

"Everyone loves cute puppies, and everyone loves Pope Francis," said John Scorr from Brooklyn, who dressed three-year-old Puggle Giles in full papal regalia (minus the staff).

I've had only cats for years. Lately I wish I had a dog because they seem to be more fun.
