€700 canine cardigan shows hair of the dog a good cure

They say that the ‘hair of the dog’ is the best cure for a hangover — but one distraught dog-lover also found it the best cure for loneliness.

Now, the man has found a way to bond with a pet Samoyed Husky forever.

Liverpudlian Tony Jenkins, who has lived most of his life in Strabane, Co Tyrone, hired a Donegal weaver to knit him a cardigan from the hair of his daughter’s pet dog Harry, who passed away in April 2015.
