Input: Text: [this post reminded me of a similar incident](https://www.reddit.com/r/tifu/comments/641zex/tifu_by_expressing_my_dogs_anal_glands/)

so this happened around 2-3 years ago.

in the middle of the winter my town holds an annual penguin plunge. basically it is a fundraiser that benefits the special olympics where people jump in the freezing cold water mid winter time. these events are pretty popular and attract a lot of people, sponsors, and other donations.

so my dad has a friend who works for state farm insurance agency. they were going to be sponsoring the event and have a booth advertising on the beach along with the other sponsors. every year state farm has a bear mascot that takes pictures with the kids and dances around and this year they couldn't find someone tall and thin to fit the costume.

this is where i come in...

i am pretty tall and skinny (6 foot 1 inches, 120 pounds) and they asked me if i would do it for a bit of cash. so all i have to do is just dance around for a couple of hours and take pictures and they will give me a couple hundred bucks, so i took it.

the costume was brought to my house for me to try it on and make sure it absolutely fit me. so i went to the other room and donned this bear outfit and came out in the family room to show everyone.

as i walked into the room i could already see my dog was uncomfortable and kind of slowly backing away from this massive talking bear before him. hes a little dog and this costume made me look rather big.

the fuck up comes when i try to calm my poor dog down by talking to him and showing that it is in fact me. i walk over to him and try to pet him and as soon as i reached out that's when he lost his chill. my dog hauls ass away from me, falling down on my wood floor as he panics. we laugh because my poor dog was scared but we didn't realize how bad. 

*a scent that i can only describe as rotting fish and sewage filled the air.*

i had to figure out online later what this awful smell was and apparently dogs have glands in their behinds that contain and awful smelling fluid. i scarred my dog so bad he let some of that out up a wall and it was vomit inducing. most people in the room were gagging and tearing. despite all the scrubbing the smell would not go away for another day or so.

 

[here is a photo of me in the costume, i don't blame my dog it is kinda creepy](http://imgur.com/a/mnbzf)
