Dad Steals Every Single Halloween Show With The Funny Costumes He Makes For His Rescued Dogs
Halloween gets a lot more fun when one dad turns it into a full-on family tradition. Steve McKay, a Canadian schoolteacher living in Taiwan, started making costumes for himself, then found the perfect excuse to go bigger when he adopted a stray dog named Buster.
What began as a playful idea soon became a yearly routine, especially after Steve and his wife brought home another rescue, a Great Dane mix named Beans. Now the trio shows up in matching looks that are equal parts clever and ridiculous, and the photos have become part of the fun.
The costumes keep getting better, and this year’s lineup is hard to top.
Steve and his wife found Buster wandering around and decided to adopt him.
“About five years ago, we found Buster wandering around on the street. He was kind of ugly and had some skin problems, but he was also very cute and loved people. He followed us home, and after a few days, we decided to keep him,” Steve said.
One year the costume theme was traditional noodle soup.
This duo nailed it, don’t you think? They look adorable.
And yes, this reminds us of the man who caused a scene and still lost the costume contest to a bulldog.
Boba tea (Bubble tea) costume was a crowd-pleaser.
Costume themes are often food-related, and there is a logical explanation for it. Buster is a true foodie, so this serves as great inspiration for his dad.
When Beans joined the team, it got even better.
They took dressing up for Halloween to a whole other level.
Buster enjoys Halloween costumes, but Beans, on the other hand, is not very fond of the whole dressing-up game.
As Steve stated, “Buster doesn’t mind anything. Sometimes he looks serious in the photos, but that’s only because he is looking at a dog treat. When I made Buster into a dragon boat, he was just like, ‘Guess I’m a boat now… toot, toot.’ And he went cruising around looking for treats. Beans is more difficult. She doesn’t like anything too big, but she is fine with hats, wigs, goggles, and clothing.”
Some seriously adorable dumplings.
The trio triumphed again with this gorgeous creation, and the best part is that for his creations, Steve only uses cardboard, felt, and glue.
Dressing up for Halloween won’t be the same again after this. New standards have been set.
This amazing trio looked very proud of themselves, don’t you agree? They are model-like real stars and certainly steal the show every time they pop up at a Halloween party.
