Creative owners show off their dogs’ 80s-inspired mullets

No short bark and sides here! Owners show off their dogs’ 80s-inspired mullets in hilarious snaps – from a preened poodle to a schnauzer who looks VERY unimpressed

  • People have been sharing snaps of their dogs sporting a mullet on Instagram
  • Sad And Useless have collated a gallery of the cutest dogs sporting the style
  • Some have longer hair around their faces while others have longer hair on backs 


This week owners have been showing off photos of their dogs’ new haircuts as groomers opened their doors for the first time in months. 

But these photos prove that not all pups are so lucky when it comes to the trim they’re given. 

People from around the world have shared snaps of their dogs with mullet hairstyles popularised in the 80s using #DogMullet – and the best examples were collated in a gallery by Sad And Useless.

Among the unfortunate pooches is a schnauzer who looks deeply unimpressed with his chopped grey locks and a peppy chihuahua wearing a sweet bow tie.     

Here, FEMAIL shares some of the cutest examples…
