Lion

All you need to do is to create a mane maybe from a bunch of brown strings and fabric. This costume works best for brown dogs. It may not work as well with dogs that have a different color.
Shark Dog
Your dog can also pretend to be a sea animal with a shark costume. Here’s an idea, take your dog for a walk in a shark costume while the Jaws theme song is playing on your mobile phone in full blast. That would surely be fun. If this is hard for you to DIY, then you can probably find ready-made shark costume for dogs in stores.
