Attach the black pull-cord tail to the lower back of the orange garment so it drapes safely behind them.

Tips

Never leave your pet unattended while wearing a costume, especially with headpieces or dangling cords.
Keep the chainsaw blade lightweight and soft so it doesn't weigh down your dog's head or cause discomfort.
If your dog dislikes headwear, skip the headband and attach a smaller plush blade directly to the hood of the orange sweater.
Take photos from a low angle to capture the full effect of the chainsaw blade protruding forward.
