This is one of the most delightful and perfectly timed videos (posted by@billiebeandaween), officially kicking off the Halloween season with maximum cuteness. The star is a Dachshund named Billie Bean, who has been reluctantly drafted into modeling a scarecrow costume. First comes a perfectly sized witch’s hat. Then, a full scarecrow outfit that seems to test Billie Bean’s ability to handle everything that has buttons, Velcro, and ties. Her expressive eyes, tiny nose, and signature long back seem to convey she’s on the fence about the whole thing. After all, Dachshunds are known for their stubborn but charming personalities.
Owner marks Halloween month with Dachshund with scarecrow costume in video
The video quickly caught attention online, nearly hitting 3,000 likes at the time of writing. It begins with Billie’s mom stating the objective: “Turn my Dachshund into a scarecrow.” And it shows Billie enduring her mom’s decisions with great reluctance.
The first accessory is a green scarecrow hat, which could easily pass off as a witch’s hat. It fits her perfectly. But Billie Bean’s on-screen thought bubble, “Send…help,” immediately tells us how she feels about the modeling gig.
Next, the full scarecrow costume comes out. Her mom helps her into the costume, but the hat is getting in the way. So it goes away for now. Billie doesn’t seem impressed at all. And the entire ordeal results in a dramatic “stress yawn” from the poor model. At one point, Billie Bean looks completely away from the camera, with the text humorously declaring, “This is so embarrassing.”
The scarecrow hat finally makes a reappearance. Her mom positions her perfectly, and she looks incredibly cute. The dog’s internal monologue is firm, however: “Absolutely not.” Then, the final demand: “Take it off me NOW.” Despite Billie Bean’s protest, fans loved the result. One viewer declared, “Toooooooo cute and obviously tolerant. Best costume EVER,” and another simply stated, “She’s in her cornfield era now.” She sure is.
