Artist transforms 'cones of shame' into dog-friendly works of art
For a few lucky dogs, the dreaded cone of shame is no more.
In its place is the Cone of Fame, a beautifully decorated cone courtesy of artist and animal center volunteer Erin Einbender.
Einbender began her Cones of Fame project to help dogs get adopted at Chicago's One Tail at a Time, as well as to highlight the importance of spaying and neutering pets -- a cone-worthy procedure for furry friends.
After she and volunteers designed and crafted the stylish cones, she photographed adoptable pups at One Tail at a Time wearing them. For example, here's Ellie wearing the "Bubblegum" model.
Stunning.
So far, Einbender's effort have paid off -- all her initial dog models have since found new homes.
According to NBC Chicago, Einbender eventually wants to make another round of Cones of Fame -- and this time, she wants to get designers involved.
Cool with us. We could probably look at fashion cones forever.
