All of the pictures here feature Cindy, a poodle who has become famous for being her master’s canvas. Her owner has turned her into everything from a punk to a camel, and, my favourite look, a chicken. I love it when the owner makes an attempt to personally match her dog’s appearance.
If you are going to do something crazy, you might as well be really crazy. Hats off to Sandy who is clearly very eccentric, yet embraces her quirkiness with pride.
I’ve seen creative things on Trend Hunter, but I can’t recall ever seeing a dog groomed with props like peacock feathers!
