It is often said that owners gradually seem to look like their pets, but Beth and Brian Willis have gone a bit further. As the picture below shows, when their dogs died, they had them turned into coats. Thank God, neither dog was a boxer . . .
The “his and hers jumpers” were reportedly knitted out of the hair moulted by their pets and spun into yarn. There is not a single legal or policy aspect to this story beyond collective emotional distress for the rest of society.

I thought you meant Boxers as in the dog breed, then I was wondering what breed is a ‘Jumper.’ sigh.
As an avid knitter (though not one with any plans to knit with dog hair), I am well aware of a bevy of books on how to knit with dog hair if you’re interested in knitting your own doggie jumper. Just be aware of what’s not mentioned in the article – those sweaters may be waterproof in the rain, but they still (I’m told) smell like wet dogs!
