Adorable #PopeDog pictures are taking over the Internet

It's over a month until Halloween, but already people are dressing up their pets, and this time it's not as a Tootsie Roll or Heinz Ketchup bottle.

Instead, social media is a flutter with images of dogs dressed as the pope. That's right, apparently canines are also celebrating Pope Francis' U.S. visit.

People are using the hashtag #PopeDog to share images of their sweet pooches in full-on papal attire.

And dressing up as the pope isn't just for dogs, a few pope cats have also been spotted on Twitter and Instagram.
