Sure, most poodles already look pretty ridiculous -- but these dogs will need years of counseling after suffering through this "creative grooming" dog show.
The Ultimate Poodle Identity Crisis
There's nothing that warms the heart more than a look of total humiliation on a dog's face.
I do feel sorry for the dogs having to go through all that grooming and all. Yet the creativity is remarkable. the panda and the buffalo were remarkable.
Someone on a different forum (Zoo) mentioned she's been to the shows where they do this and the dogs typically show signs they are enjoying the pampering and attention. The dyes are all vegetable based, etc...and the dogs have been doing this for a long time and don't appear at all stressed. I'm not too worried about 'cruelty.'
