Dog shaved to look like lion prompts 911 call

Even though baby lions don't grow manes, I guess that a dog that looks like a lion could indeed frighten someone. This is the first time I ever heard of such a thing.

Perhaps the money to have this dog shaved to look like a lion could have been more wisely spend on, contributing to the local animal shelter. I think it is just a waste of money when there is such a need for all dogs to have a home and be properly cared for.

I would rather hear of a stray being rescued and money spend caring for that stray, then hear of people spending money on getting their dogs excessively groomed.

Just my thoughts.
