People are stuck at home, life as we know it has basically ground to a halt, and sometimes, it can be difficult not to get pretty bummed out about the state of…everything. But as bleak as things become, it isn’t stopping people from trying to bring a little bit of joy back into the world.
A series of photos recently shared to Twitter serves as the perfect example of the human spirit persevering even in dark times.
A guy named Jack has begun posting photos of his friend, who has apparently been dressing up in crazy outfits while he walks his dogs so as to give homebound neighbors something to laugh at if they happen to catch him walking by.
Some of the outfits are pretty absurd, but in the best way.
My mate has been dressing up everyday to cheer the neighbourhood up while he takes the dogs out 🤣 pic.twitter.com/r2CDWRuvc3

Best of all, these are all just clothes he happens to own already.
Just to answer a couple of your questions: He’s in Weymouth, he doesn’t own a fancy dress shop, he used to be a Royal Marine.

The outfits may have been meant for neighbors, but they’re bringing joy to folks online, too.
Not all hero’s wear capes… Some wear dresses and look like sheep. Oh and he did wear cape…. Never mind

Jack’s pal serves as a great reminder that no matter how bad things get, people will always try to find the good. And when that fails, we’ll make our own.
How awesome. The corona virus 😷 is bringing about such kind gestures & people have been creative in ways to make things a bit more happier for all. Love this!!!! Happy Saturday my friend 🐰
