"Supermena the Halloween Hound"


Supermena isn't the only hound out haunting, or, in her case, protecting Metropolis this Halloween.



The American Pet Products Manufacturers Association (APPMA), based in Greenwich, says 7-percent of dog owners have purchased Halloween costumes for their campy canines.



The association's 2007-2008 National Pet Owners Survey shows the number of dogs donning disguises is on the rise. Back in 2004, only 4-percent said they had bought duds to doll up the dog.







Here you see Supermena outside the Daily Planet. She was taking a break between deadlines to put out fires, lift buses over busted bridges and to help tourists find the subway.



The National Retail Federation also conducted a survey on doggie dressing. The NRF found a higher number of dog owners, 11-percent, had purchased a costume for the dog.



Pet parents also say they plan to offer TREATS in the form of Halloween toys and goodies. There was no information on how many owners dress up with their pets.
