Which Halloween pet pic is cutest?

Which Halloween pet pic is cutest?

We can’t decide which Halloween pet pic is cuter—it’s a toss up between a sweet-looking kitten named Sara dressed up as a witch and a little pup named Gigi, who is serious about guarding his family’s stash of pumpkins.

Which one gets your vote as the cutest? Let us know in the comments below or on our Facebook page.

You can send us your Halloween pet photos to pix@wbrc.com, upload them to TellFox.com or share them on the MyFoxAl.com's Facebook page.

Happy fall, y'all!

Happy fall, y'all!

In case you need a dose of cuteness for the day, here's an autumn-inspired pet pic we received from a viewer. This photo was uploaded to our website on Monday, Oct. 15 along with the caption "The cutest pumpkin dog ever!" It has quickly become one of our top-rated photos submitted to us on share.myfoxal.com.

This little guy is pretty adorable, popping out of a pumpkin, but he's not the only pooch we've seen photographed among the autumn decor. Check out yesterday's pet pic of Porter, who blends in with the scarecrows and bales of hale at his owner's home in Blountsville.

If you've got a great photo of your pet, the changing leaves in your yard, autumn decorations, or something else that sums up the fall season in your community, we'd love to see it and share it on our community sites.

Scarecrows don’t intimidate this little guy named Porter, from Blounstville in Blount County.

“The pumpkins and the mums may be bigger than he is but he loves fall," his owner Debbie Treadwill said in her photo submission.

Thanks for sharing your festive fall pet pic with us, Debbie!

You can submit your photos to Fox 6 by emailing them to pix@wbrc.com or uploading them at share.myfoxal.com.
