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. <br /> <br />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. <br /> <br />Sabrina Ridler, from California, spent hundreds of hours painstakingly handcrafting the costume for her four-year-old pet Penny Bark-Bark. <br /> <br />'Penny is now a proud member of Stormtrooper Ranch,' said owner Sabrina. <br />'The outfit was originally meant to be just a Halloween costume, that would be just worn a few times. <br /> <br />'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.' <br /> <br />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. <br /> <br />'It's much more detailed, flexible, even lighter to keep her cool and is built to endure.' <br /> <br />Sabrina has now been inundated with thousands of messages from impressed film fans after she posted pictures of her dog's outfit online. <br /> <br />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.
