Dog hair sweaters?

How many of you have seen the story (here) of the couple that made sweaters out of their dog's hair after they died.

Seems a little strange to me (of course I'm a dog so it should I guess!).  I really don't understand it although as others have pointed out how is this any different than wearing a sweater made from lamb's wool?

Well for one, I don't know many people that have lambs as pets.  Second, dogs (especially me) are very special to their owner and while they may want to somehow preserve a pet's memory after they pass, wearing them around your neck all day just doesn't seem to do it!

How do you feel about this?  Would you shave your pet and create a nice new sweater or maybe a cute necktie?

Let me know your thoughts below!

Woof! Woof!
