One eager pet owner recently dressed their giant German Shepherd dog up as a popular Halloween character explicitly using paint rather than an a traditionally material costume. The dog, named Nixe, was decorated to look like a spooky skeleton.
Reddit user Brynmarele uploaded this picture of her dog Nixe covered in black and white paint to replicate the aesthetic of a traditional Halloween skeleton. Since dogs love bones so much choosing to dress Nixe up as a skeleton was a great choice. Nixe's fur has been covered in black paint and topped off with white bone accents all along the dog's anatomy. The concept of using paint to create the costume is also brilliant since many pets don't enjoy wearing fabric costumes for prolonged periods of time.
