Best parents ever let son dress as a hot dog for school pictures

A boy who dressed up as a hot dog for picture day is relishing his viral fame.

Jake Arsenault’s mom was the one who suggested that he dress in costume. But the 9-year-old wasn’t sold on the idea until his dad, Craig Arsenault, offered him 10 bucks.

“Jake was hesitant a first, but I was like, ‘No, it’s gonna be awesome; just trust me,’” Craig Arsensault, 34, told TODAY Parents. He was right.

The 4th grader's classmates at Biddeford Intermediate School in Maine were high-fiving him in the halls.

“Everyone was like, ‘There’s hot dog boy,’” Arsenault raved. “Jake's outgoing and likes being in the spotlight, so it worked out."

Arsenault posted a photo of Jake’s ID card on Facebook on Thursday, where it has been shared 31,000 times so far. The same picture will be his school photos.
