Shih-Tzu-faced

The Hertfordshire Mercury reports this morning the sorry tale of a man who got drunk and shaved his ex girlfriend's Shih-Tzu - apparently ruining the dog's chances of entering Crufts' in a couple of months' time.

Ah well, can always enter the dog in the Chinese Crested class where s/he will be in the company of loads of other dogs who have been shaved.

"This behaviour is completely unacceptable," said Chairman of magistrates Nicholas Moss to defendant Adam Davey, 26. "You do not treat other people's property including a harmless pet in this fashion."

Of course you don't. Absolutely shameful.
