When a beloved pet passes away, many owners will make the decision to preserve their memory in a special way. Whether that be having their name engraved on a bench, getting a tattoo using their ashes or donating to an animal shelter in their honour.
One mourning family has chosen to transform their late golden retriever into a rug, so they will always be reminded of the fluffy pooch at home. Australian company Chimera Taxidermy was hired to create the memorial keepsake, and business owner Maddy, 29, says it's not an unusual request - pet taxidermy is on the rise.
