Aaron Talasnik, 42, wears a bunny costume while walking his dog Charlie in Center City. Talasnik said he has recently been walking his dog while dressed in his old Halloween costumes to brighten peoples day. "If I can make somebody smile or make somebody laugh during the day I am helping, I think a lot of people right now are struggling, just trying to stay positive is not easy right now. I can't afford to help financially, and I am not a doctor or nurse. I see this as a way to brighten people's day. And I have to go on the walks anyway, it just kind of comes from that.” He said he has a rotation of about four costumes at the moment: The hungry caterpillar, Buzz Lightyear, the Easter bunny, and opening day Phillies fan.
