Their beloved dogs may have gone to the great kennel in the sky, but for Beth and Brian Willis they will always be close.

Because the couple have had his and hers jumpers knitted out of the hair moulted by the pedigree pets and spun into yarn.

And they insist the bizarre garments keep them warm and dry no matter how bad the winter weather gets.

That is just sick. The smell must be a little gamey when it rains.

I'm acutely aware of the amount of hair that a shedder can spread around the house each year. I toss it. If they found a good use for it, more power to them. They didn't kill the dogs for the coats.

Agreed. This is neither sick nor cruel. Seems like a pretty good idear to me.

I guess it's more like wearing wool than fur.

If you wouldn't wear your dog, please don't wear any fur. - Heather Mills McCartneyNow that Paul ain't touching your fur, seems to me you don't have a right to complain about who's wearing whose fur under his name.

Good luck stumping around with your former name.
