A Star Wars fan has transformed her Doberman into a Stormtrooper, and the dressed-up pup would look quite at home on any Death Star.

The incredible full-body costume turns the Doberman pinscher into one of the evil Galactic Empire's finest, covering her head-to-tail in the iconic uniform.

Sabrina Ridler, from California, spent hundreds of hours painstakingly handcrafting the costume for her four-year-old pet Penny Bark-Bark.

'Penny is now a proud member of Stormtrooper Ranch,' said owner Sabrina.
'The outfit was originally meant to be just a Halloween costume, that would be just worn a few times.

'But because she wears it all the time now, it had to be redone. The only part of the original that is still in use is the helmet.'

She added: 'I have since rebuilt it a few more times to make something that will endure her trouping with the Stormtroopers on their charity events.

'It's much more detailed, flexible, even lighter to keep her cool and is built to endure.'

Sabrina has now been inundated with thousands of messages from impressed film fans after she posted pictures of her dog's outfit online.

Penny the dog spends a great deal of her time dressed up in the costume with members of the Stormtrooper Ranch - a fictional 'regiment' of fellow Star Wars fans who collect money for charity at events.
