When I lived in Australia there was some stray dog that would come around to all the hostels and swipe food all the time. One day someone thought it would be funny to tie a bow on his head, and things spiralled out of control from there.
The last time I saw the dog before I left, he had been shaved with a mohawk, dyed with black/white spots, then finally all pink. He didn't seem to mind, as long as he got free sausages
