Does anyone know if it's generally considered kosher to cosplay with your dog or are pets not typically allowed in cons? There's a lot of characters out there whose sidekick is man's best friend. Like Mega Man & Rush, Venom Snake & DD, Shinobi in Shadow Dancer, Galford from Samurai Shodown, Shadow from Final Fantasy VI... you know, a lot of ninjas seem to have dogs. I also always thought it would be cool to dress up as a Summoner from Final Fantasy XI and dress up my dog as Fenrir. Dogs are cool.

That is pretty amazing and almost makes me want to play Overwatch. Then I remember it's a MOBA FPS and I'm like NOPE.

You're thinking of Battleborn. OW is more akin to TF2.

At Colossalcon there was a woman, with her therapy dog, both dressed as Thor.

I would imagine as long as therapy animals are allowed, then you are good to go.

:3: They were both incredibly nice.

It's going to depend on the venue, I imagine.

If you're planning Final Fantasy cosplay, please don't put your dog on your arm and fire him at people like a cannon. I imagine the staff would be very cross.

No, no, he's right. There's guns in first person, people have two skills and an ultimate. That's pretty moba-ish.

Tasha cosplays as part of a professional team called Spiral Cats so it's probably some of both, she definitely was paid to wear this at a Hearthstone thing. I'm pretty sure she works on the costumes as part of the team but Spiral Cats as far as I've seen is kinda cagey about who actually does what. Their work is undeniably pretty nuts no matter what.

Dunno if you were serious or joking but please don't actually do this. Service animals are extremely highly trained, pets are (generally) not, and trying to pass pets as service animals to get them into places dogs aren't usually allowed is seriously lovely.

I'm kidding, because I'm pretty sure you need signed paperwork to show people that your dog is actually a therapy dog.

That said, my Grandma is the kind of person who photocopies her handicapped sticker, laminates the copies and hands them out to family members so they can park in handicapped and that's a little messed up.

Yeah I recall we wernt even allowed to question anyone if it was a therapy animal or not but that was like 15 years ago at Safeway. People completely abused it and I'm still pretty sure there is no such thing as a "therapy snake".

We didn't let in any animal, therapy or not, back in the day. I remember fondly explaining to a blind man he couldn't come in (bakery).
