There has been a small, ugly dog running around our neighborhood for two days now. He likes to bark at my neighbor's back door, probably because he smells Sasha. Their back door is right next to my bedroom window. So at 5 in the morning, I woke up to a chorus of yippy barks. I ended up having to go outside and chase him off so he would be quiet.
I don't know who thought to give this dog this haircut, but he is almost completely shaven except for his head and a puff at the end of its tail. He looks like an eighties reject punk rocker. All he needs is a metal spike collar and leg bands to complete the look. Poor dog. I feel sorry for the ones who have stupid haircuts or are dressed up in silly outfits. They can't help what their owners do to them. Sometimes I think they know how ridiculous they look and are embarassed about it.
He doesn't have any tags, so I'm going to call animal control, and get him out of this cold rainy weather. Hopefully they can find his owner.

Update: The pound came and picked him up yesterday. Ericka got a good look at him and said he was a very old dog, so it's probably a good thing he's safe indoors now. Hopefully, his owners will find him there.
Poor little eighties reject punk rocker dog! Honestly, what are people thinking sometimes?

maybe he was balding?
From your description of him, it doesn't sound a haircut issue- some dogs are that way normally- does he look like one of the dogs here? ->

They are hairless all over, spotted skin, and have hair only on their heads, feet and tails.
And yes, they do look like 80s rockers, if only they had studded metal collars!
