Today we learned that competitive dog grooming is a thing, and we have to say, it's one of the weirdest things we've ever come across in our time writing for Animal Comedy. Yes, weirder than the walrus that went on vacation in Western Europe and sank boats in an attempt to make friends with everyone. Weirder still than all of the absurd animal memes we find on the internet. Who would dedicate so much time to drawing on your dog's fur is beyond us, but hey, to each their own.
On the other hand, the creativity involved in this "art" form is quite impressive. Even though we can't tell if we're impressed or horrified, we can certainly say that some of these pooches really were transformed into works of art. We hope that they gave their doggos lots of treats during the process, because it looks quite tedious! Scroll down to see these train-wreck photos below, and we're sorry in advance for your eyes.
Say what you will, but this is pretty cool. We're sure that this doggo is not too pleased about being turned into a portrait of a seahorse and some ancient sea creature in the ocean, but he does look pretty punk with that mohawk and the blue hair. Not a bad look for this doggo!
We're not exactly sure what the vision was for this grooming disaster, but the sunflower is pretty cute. Even the doggo's face is saying "Why did you do this to me?" and we couldn't agree more. They better have gotten a lot of treats for putting up with this!
