You've Been Walking Your Dog All Wrong

by Ali Parr

Ruh-roh, Toto, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore. We thought we'd seen it all, but doggone it, were we wrong. Daniel Radcliffe's glorious fanny-pack dog leash apparatus straight up made us drool. The thought of a future filled with dog-walking drones knocked us off of our paws. So how do you think we reacted when we learned that a Wisconsin woman has taken to walking her dog while dressed as the abominable snowman? If you guessed, "SQUEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!" then you must know us well. Or just be any normal human on the planet, because any other response would just be offensive to dogs everywhere.

This awesomely spirited woman, aka "Bumble" from Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (aBOMinaBLE snowman—yeah, my mind was blown, too), and her precious pooch Blizzard can be seen strolling around their suburban town near Green Bay daily. When asked why she chose to don this particular outfit, her answer was simple: to spread holiday cheer and happiness. (The protection from harsh winter winds was just a bonus.) Now if that doesn't just about melt even the Grinch-iest of hearts then I don't know what will. Time to hit those post-Black Friday, pre-Christmas sales because your heart just grew three sizes and burst out of your shirt. (And now you need new shirts. Get it? Anyone? Bueller?)
