How To Carve a Dog-O’-Lantern

First off, you need a decent-sized pumpkin and a drawing of your furry friend. For the latter, you can either create a stencil from a picture of your dog or if you are good at sketching, draw it directly onto the pumpkin.

Clear pumpkin from the inside (just like any other pumpkin carving) to create a hollow space.

Thereafter, carefully cut out the portions which define the dog’s face or body (depending on the carving).
