These Dogs’ Before And After Haircuts Will Make Your Day

These are the cutest pups, ever.

Pet photographer Grace Chon took to the Internet to share an absolutely adorable series titled, “HAIRY,” and you’d better be glad she did.

The photos showcase the cutest dogs before and after a haircut. So, need I say more? Or are you about to burst with excitement already? Yeah, I thought so!

These aren’t your average grooming sessions, either. These dogs were groomed in a Japanese style that involves hours of hand scissoring to complete, Chon wrote on Bored Panda.

“These cuts are works of art,” Chon writes—and I’d have to agree with her.

Now, enough talking and let’s see the puppies, shall we?

This dog is saying, “Excuse me! I can’t see.”

“Ahh, that’s better. Finally got those bangs out of my face.”

2. Athena

#2 in my new photo series HAIRY. These dogs have all been transformed by the amazingly talented groomers from @HealthySpot, and cut in a Japanese dog grooming style that makes the dog look over the top adorable! From a creative perspective, I wanted to capture dogs with cuts that are a bit more uncommon to us here in the United States. • “Athena Before” • Grooming: Donna Owens of Healthy Spot Lighting: @faintastic @itsashleypoole Retouching and Phtography: Grace Chon • www.gracechon.com | #hairyseries • #gracechoninc #kimknightrepresents #teamcanon #dogsofinstagram #bestwoof #houndsbazaar #doggrooming #healthyspot #mmmexplore#commercialphotography #weeklyfluff #coolhunter #멍스타그램 • Athena was 17 years old and passed away a few months after this shoot. Thank you sweet girl for your beauty and grace. Rest in peace ?❤

WOW. Let me just start by saying I never imagined that this series would be so popular! Thank you for all the love, internets!! It’s been so much fun.
