Dogpatch dogs

My coworkers and I have many times walked past these absurdly fluffy dogs passing their day on 3rd street. The first time I got a glimpse of the mechanism behind this fluffiness, however, was during Allegra's brief introduction to the dogpatch neighborhood.

Man blow-drying dog #1.

And for the record:

Dogpatch was named for the stray dogs that used to hunt for food among the meatpacking factories, which have since been converted into live-work lofts. (source)

Ah.
