Dog-Elganger!

Toni and her pooch are rather similar…

People couldn’t stop staring, but I wasn’t bothered. I just held my deadlocked head high!

Being a dog owner gets you attention. Especially if you’re a dread ringer for your pooch!

I got my Hungarian puli Sanka when I was 30. Ten weeks old, with a big black Afro, he looked familiar…

But it wasn’t until I spotted a photo of me at 5 that it clicked. He was my dog-elganger!

And it didn’t stop there.

As Sanka got older, his mane started to drop into long dreadlocks – just like the ones I’ve had for seven years.
