Dad Steals Every Single Halloween Show With The Funny Costumes He Makes For His Rescued Dogs
Don’t you just love Halloween?! Every year, we get the opportunity to express our creativity by dressing up in costumes, making jack-o’-lanterns, and, of course, there’s the all-time favorite game of trick-or-treating.
When it comes to costumes, there are always two choices: to buy a costume or to make it yourself, and both options have their pros and cons. If you don’t have time or don’t feel creative enough, it is better to buy one; however, there is something special about the process of making a Halloween costume.
Schoolteacher Steve McKay enjoyed making Halloween costumes with his mom and dad while growing up, so when he moved to Taiwan ten years ago, this Canadian decided to bring a part of his culture closer to the world. At first, he started making Halloween costumes mainly to wear at the Halloween festival at the school where he worked, but soon after adopting a stray dog, he realized that it would be hilarious to make matching costumes, and that’s how it all started.
Steve and Buster—that’s how Steve named his new best friend—made an incredible duo, and people were delighted, so the only right thing to do was to make it a new family tradition. From then on, every year, Steve makes matching Halloween costumes for them, and year after year, they only get better and better.
But within a short period of time, their family grew by one more member; Steve and his wife decided to adopt another dog, a Great Dane mix. This time it was a girl, and they named her Beans. With this addition to the family, they went from a duo to a trio.
Take a look at their silly costumes; we couldn’t decide on just one, so we picked a few just for you. Enjoy.
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.
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.
