While scrolling through social media, you might come across a picture or video of a purple dog or another pet that has been groomed to resemble popular characters such as SpongeBob SquarePants, Goofy from Walt Disney's cartoons, or even Paw Patrol characters. While some people are familiar with this new trend of grooming animals, others are not.
