Skeletal Canines

These Dogs by Mikael Alacoque Would Make an Unusual Pet

Small dogs are usually cute and cuddly, but the talented Mikael Alacoque has made them terrifying and unsettling in these featured works.

Mikael Alacoque's sculptural series entitled 'Bad Babysitter' features a dog with a skull for a head and the body of a tiny canine. If that isn't strange enough, the dog is colored bright fluorescent blue and pink and has ice cream cones stuck on the top of its head. Check out this unusual canine in the gallery and try not to imagine it as a pet.
