finally, wigs to dignify your pets

July 28, 2009 in animals | 2 comments

you know how some people have kids just because they found a really cute ironic onesie? well, i NEED to get a pet after finding the cutest wigs for them at total diva pets where you can find a punk wig for your siamese cat, afro for your chihuahua, or a mullet for your obese pug. i feel sorry for the owner of the first wigged dog i see walking down the street, because i am going to be all up in your dog’s business until you have to run down the street, clutching your dog and it’s wig to your chest for dear life.

and can i just say that it’s about time a company were addressing the body image insecurities that pets enduring chemo have been going through for years. i think it’s wonderful that a product was finally designed to give them their dignity back.

the next best thing is babies in wigs for babies going through chemo, but the end result is not nearly as cute.

a seeing eye dog…for a dog!

bonnie and clyde were two dogs found in rural england and sent to a rescue shelter. eventually the shelter staff discovered that clyde (left) was blind and relied entirely on bonnie (in red) to lead him around.

one of the staff members said:

“If Clyde’s unsure where he is, he will suddenly go behind Bonnie and put his face on the back of her so she can guide him. He totally relies on her. And when she walks she tends to stop and make sure he’s there – she does look out for him. When she’s about you wouldn’t notice he is blind, but when she’s not about he refuses to move. There’s no option of homing them separately. They’ve got to go as a pair.”

this story is so touching it makes me want to cry myself blind so i can be led around by a dog throughout the english countryside. it smacks so much of that children’s movie from the 90s Homeward Bound, about the 2 dogs and a cat on a mission to find their owners. jesus, why are dogs and cats lost in the wild so freaking cute??!* but then there’s also an even cuter element here similar to this video of inter-species friendship, because, really, a blind and not-so-cute dog in the wild is as good as a subspecies.

bonnie and clyde: the bitch leading the blind

*NEW IDEA FOR A REALITY SHOW: domesticated dogs and cats put in the wild and then left to find their way home. kind of like Survivor for housepets except you vote another animal off by eviscerating him and victory is finding your way back to your master’s backyard. WHO’S IN???
