Don’t let Murphy’s woebegone eyes fool you. He loved every second of sporting that loaded taco shell on his back. So much so, he placed first at the Psi Omega Dog Show, just not in the costume category. He won for dog-owner look-a-like with first-year dental student Matt Hiner. This pair joined more than a dozen other canine-owner duos in the April 22 student fundraiser at Exall Park in Dallas. Other highlights of the afternoon included the antics of one periodontics professor’s pup, as well as a corgi clad in a horse-and-cowboy costume. But to learn just who we’re talking about, well, you’ll have to check out the winner’s circle, below.
