Pup Duds / Dog Togs / Pupparel
August 20th, 2008
Believe it or not, this isn’t a picture of two dogs. Look more closely (use your browser’s zoom function if you have to) - they’re actually humans wearing dog fur sweaters.
That’s right. Beth and Brian Willis from Newcastle Upon Tyne, England, spun these ghoulish garments after spending years collecting the hairs of their beloved pets from brushes and carpets.
Says Brian:
“They are extremely warm and pretty much waterproof. I’ve always got a sweat on by the time I get from the bus to the shops.”
See? That’s where you’re going wrong. Dogs don’t sweat — they pant. Did you try panting, pal? Probably not. But here’s the other thing. There is no way you’d get enough dog hair out of a carpet to make a sweater like that. Then it occurred to me….look at the picture of the human on the right. Specifically, his head. Are you sure they were all dog hairs, Brian? Hmmm.
