Dog Owner Shocked To Discover That Dog Does Not Enjoy Superman Costume

Charles Reinmayer, a 65-year-old former accountant, spends most of his days with his aging Airedale terrier, Baxter.

Baxter, he says, loves Superman.

“He always uses his Superman doggie bowl, Superman doggie bed, and Superman collar tag! I bought them all, and he just loves it,” says Reinmayer.

Reinmayer set out to make this Halloween a special one. He wanted to surprise Baxter with something he was sure he would enjoy.

“He was going to be Superman, and I was gonna be Krypto!” He said. “Hilarious! I ran on down to Party City and got the costumes. I almost went over the speed limit I was so excited. As soon as I got home I put it on him, just to see. For a second he just sat there, but pretty soon he was ripping it apart.”

Immediately concerned by this aggressive episode, Reinmayer insisted that his dog was drugged, or had food poisoning. He promptly took Baxter to the vet, who quickly told him the dog was fine, sending them both home with a three hundred dollar consulting fee.

When we took Mr. Reinmayer’s statement, we suggested that maybe dogs just don’t like to be forced into tight clothes, and that maybe being drugged wasn’t such a logical explanation, we were promptly escorted from his house.

On our way out we spoke to his neighbor, Ellen Rigsby, who quickly agreed to comment.

“Yeah, he’s definitely nuts. I’ve been watching him for weeks,” she said. “He keeps trying to mold that animal into a weird, small version of himself. They even eat the same food! Don’t you find that a little insane?”

As she became more animated, she startled the cats sleeping on her porch, which all wore different floral sweaters.
