For many, one of the best parts of the festival is seeing the endlessly creative cosplay (short for costume play) — and while we usually think of _humans_ participating in that, plenty of dogs got in on the fun too. Here are some of our favorite canine cosplayers:  Ollie the French Bulldog, dressed in a "Shazam" costume, sits outside of the San Diego Convention Center during the 2014 Comic-Con International Convention in San Diego, California July 24, 2014.
