God, this photo. It always makes me think someone attached the wrong size face.
I'll offer another potential reason why this poor guy is shaved; if he's got a condition that needs a topical cream or medicated shampoo or similar, then this guarantees the stuff gets right to the skin, where it's needed. His skin looks fine, but you never can tell with fleas. * tiny rimshot *
Yet another crime amusing enough to make me question if we need to get the court involved.
