Woman cuts back on haircuts and clothes so she can spend £100 a month on outfits for her dog

A pampered pooch from a Romanian rescue has become top dog on the canine show circuit where he displays his “beautifully groomed buttocks” as he dances on his hind legs wearing one of his 100 bandanas bought with his £100 monthly clothing allowance. Digital workplace implementation consultant Nessa Anderson, 32, from Oxfordshire, lives with her husband Dave Anderson, 36.

She is so besotted with the pooch she has reduced her own spending on haircuts and clothes to pay for his wardrobe and grooming. But Ari, who has 70 plus harnesses and an enviable array of fancy dress costumes ranging from Fred Flintstone to a cow costume, is worth it, according to Nessa.

Ari was taken in by a Romanian rescue after being found kept outside on hard stones, fenced in by mesh and with no proper access to food or water. He was adopted by Nessa and Dave after they moved to a new house in January 2021, which they were renovating, and met some of their new neighbours out walking their “two gorgeous dogs” which had been rescued from Romania.
