After writing yesterday about about what a scumbag I think actor Owen Wilson is for refusing to even acknowledge his newborn daughter, I felt it was only right to bring THIS dad to your attention.

This guy is on the other side of the world in Shanghai, China, but all dads can learn from him.

Apparently, his baby girl told him she wanted to be picked up from kindergarten by a dinosaur.   The young girl had made the odd request after seeing the dinosaur costume in a shopping mall.   Okay...so, Dad says, "If you behave in kindergarten..."

She did.

So...what's a dad to do?  He made his huge entrance in his 6½-foot tall T-rex suit.
