Poodles have always been scary to me. A poodle that has been zombified is downright terrifying. If you didn’t know it was a thing, dog groomers have competitions to show off their skills. They are judged on the speediest grooming job, the most stylish, and then there is a wacky anything goes sort of category. This can include dying the dogs fur and shaving it into shapes. Like ribs, for example. I bet the groomer who fashioned this dog into a creature of the undead constantly take prizes in said category.

Berry, a 10-year old German Shepherd that once played Sirius Black’s “Padfoot” Animagus form in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is up for adoption after his owner, stuntman Paul Thompson, was forced to give him up.

Interested parties should know that Berry is a package deal with his life-long friend Porridge, a 13-year old German Shepherd Labrador cross. Both are currently being fostered at the UK-based German Shepherd Dog Rescue.
