We've featured [baby toupees](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baby-toupees) because *no one* wants to be bald. We've also seen [hairpieces for cats](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kitty-wig), [wigs for dogs](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wiggles-wigs-for-dogs), and now there are animal toupees. Contrary to human hair trends, a dog should never be teased for sporting a mullet, a bowl cut, or even a flock of seagulls.

This trend is:

not functional;
not necessary;
not sexy;
not the next pop-culture icon;
not instigated by any celebrity;
not a scientific breakthrough;
not an instant moneymaker;
not an environmentalist's dream;
not a luxury reserved for the rich;
not an innovative gadget; and
not a seasonal fad.

Let's just state the obvious--this trend is just outright cute!

Here are some animal wigs:
