[The background:]

The background: So, last year I adopted the coolest dog ever, Hugo (I'm not bias or anything, lol)!    He is Great Pyrenees and is roughly around 110 lbs (but he looks a lot bigger bc of all of the fur). Any-who, there is a big event where I live every October with the organization I volunteer with called "WoofStock" & you bring your dog, dress them up for Halloween, & hang out with other crazy animal people     Hugo didnt get to go last year bc, being a rescue, he had heartworm disease & was being treated for them. So this will be his WoofStock debut!

The Question: I wanted to dress him up in a Halloween costume (which I'm sure I could figure out a way to make, I'm good like that - LOL) But...I cant think of anything good for him to be?!?!?!  I originally thought of trying to make him something based on his big white fluffiness, but the only 3 things I could come up with were 1) An armored bear from the Golden Compass - but apparently I'm like the ONLY one to have seen that movie. 2) The flying dog thing from A Never Ending Story (I think it's name is like Falcor, or something) but he doesnt really have an outfit. And lastly 3) a Coca Cola Bear - which I may still do bc its the only thing I can think of, but I didnt know if it was lame 

* The only big considerations I have is that I am going to have to make it a light (in weight & coverage, not color) costume bc I live in Alabama near the Gulf Coast and it's still 85-90 at the end of October (and no, I dont shave him down - he stays inside & is a couch potato  ). 

So sorry that took For-ev-er (she says in a sandlot voice, haha)! And...without further ado... here is a pic of my handsome man for putting up with my insane rambling! 
  *Thanks so much for any suggestions/comments!

You did a wonderful job! That breed can be very difficult to portray accurately, but you hit it dead on! Beautiful! <3

OMG! I would just like to say firstly that son is an absolute GENIOUS (and very charming in his Edward jacket). Secondly, you did a fantastic job! Did you use a pattern or just free hand it? Bc it looks amazing!

Wow! Great idea, and to think I almost caved and asked Santa for a reader cover (hehehe). Well, my furkids will be very happy to know that I have a new project that will require their expertise! 

Wow! This is amazing! I lost one of my fur-babies last july and it still brings tears to my eyes to even speak about him  Im sure your gift will be greatly appreciated! I know I would cherish it forever 

This awesome! I would be super excited if I made it for a swap that fell through  I dont have really any suggestions on what to do with it though (other than just observe it for its greatness, LOL)

Holy crap! This is A-freakin'-mazing!!! I cant believe its all out of one piece and no adhesive! OMG! I've really been wanting to get into paper cutting/sculpture type stuff....but alas...so many darn obligations I must tend to first

Great job though! Really impressive!

Aww what a great idea and a wonderful painting (made even more wonderful bc of the adorable model, LOL) As a "mommy" to two rescued pitties myself...Im kinda partial 

LOVE the bold border btw   

Wow!  I'm sure your friend really appreciates all of the time and effort you went through...not to mention it looks AMAZING!!! I'm sure his road to being drug-free will be much easier with a friend like you to support him 

Sigh...yet another reason I wish I had a kiln They look awsome! I especially like the ones with the wolves! I soo wish I could make some
