Like all dogs, Stanley the Golden Retriever was clearly adorable from birth, but at around three weeks old, he developed something that made him quite unique...
Seemingly overnight, the little pup grew the tiniest of mohawks.
Overnight style
The spiky blonde fur stuck out from the top of his head and looked as if he'd just paid a visit to an edgy barber shop. What's more, the spike never seemed to flatten despite regular noggin pats.
When forever owner Megan Callahan came to collect him to take him to his forever home at two months old, it seemed as though his distinctive spike was flattening. Already loving Stanley just the way he was, she simply assumed that this cute little addition was something he’d grow out.
Return of the spike
But, then one day, out of nowhere, it came back with a vengeance!
Now, big and grown, Stanley has a very noticeable spike that people can’t believe is natural. Owner Megan is regularly asked if she styles his hair, but the distinctive fur-style is all down to Stanley.
As if to prove his point, Stanley loves swimming and will happily spend all day in the water when he can. And his mohawk? With him for every splish and every splash.
A social star in the making
Unsurprisingly, for a dog of such style, Stanley has his own Instagram account, where his owners regularly post content featuring him and his tiny mohawk.
We love the hair, Stanley, and think it makes you look very distinguished!
