Before and After Photos

The dog in the dreadlocks below is an airedale. I know it's hard to tell. Groomers and vets see this condition occasionally, actually entirely too often, and I want you to know that this is animal cruelty. The mats on this dog hid skin sores, infections and a host of other problems. This dog lives outside naturally. You'd assume that I'm sure, but believe it or not I've seen some in similar condition that live inside the house! How anyone could let their pet get into this condition is unimaginable. I don't have an after photo of this dog. I was too busy crying and I forgot to take an after shot.
Please don't allow your pet to get into this condition ever, and if you see a neighbor with an animal in this horrid shape, please call your local animal control or police department and report them. Don't give up until somebody takes some action. Keep on them!
 
By the way, she looked 1000% better after her shavedown, and I was actually able to leave a little bit of hair on her legs and she actually resembled an airedale when I was done! Nothing short of a miracle I assure you.
