Inspired by the [groomed puppies at a dog show](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woof-gang-cosmetics) he attended, the photographer has created this farcical reel of [canine portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portrait-mom) adorned with [wigs and jewels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dog-accessories-collection). As a parody of the expression that dog owners often resemble their pets, Gudnanson has given each of these bourgeois dogs fitting hairstyles that look distinctly human -- and might I say, quite fetching! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.2/10 - Popularity: 89% | Activity: 89% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Pets](https://www.trendhunter.com/pets) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Pet Pampering:** As consumers increasingly treat their pets as family members, innovative companies can offer high-end grooming, styling and beauty products and services. - **Humorous Pet Portraiture:** While traditional pet portraiture will remain popular, there is opportunity to provide humorous and playful pet photoshoots that capture the bond between owners and their pets in a fun and unique way. - **Animal-inspired Fashion:** Inspired by the popularity of animal print clothing and accessories, companies can create fashion lines featuring dog-inspired prints and designs to appeal to pet owners and animal lovers alike. ### Who This Affects Most - **Pet Grooming:** By offering unique grooming services such as pet wigs and jewels, companies can capitalize on the growing trend of pet pampering and offer a wider range of services to pet owners. - **Pet Photography:** Photographers can create a niche market for themselves by offering humorous pet portraits that show off the personality of the pet and capture the bond between the pet and owner. - **Fashion:** Fashion companies can incorporate dog-inspired designs and prints into their product lines to appeal to the growing pet-loving demographic and offer a unique twist on animal-inspired fashion. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Functionally Focused Dog Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inflatable-dogs.md) - [Charm-Adorned Dog Collars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charmadorned-dog-collar.md) - [Dog-Focused Retail Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/i-love-you-like-a-dog.md) - [Influencer Dog Treat Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/influencer-dog-treat-collection.md) - [Modern Luxury Pet Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/goyard-pet-luxe.md) - [Artful Doghouse Design Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/architecture-for-dogs-exhibition.md) - [Adorable Holiday Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burberrys-holiday-campaign.md) - [Aesthetic-Driven Dog Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/karim-rashid-for-ubbi.md) - [Luxury Gut Health Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pooch-pendant.md)
