A family has turned their dog into a household item in order to keep the beloved pet close to them after its passing. Australian company Chimera Taxidermy was hired to turn the Golden Retriever into a rug.
The company said that the practice was on the rise but admitted it is "definitely not for everyone." Taking to social media the taxidermists shared the process in which the pets go through.
According to the Express, the company wrote in an Instagram post: "Beautiful old golden retriever preserved as a pelt for his family. Finally ready to head home." They explained that the pelt has to be tanned and turned to leather to stop the fur from falling out.
