My dog doesn't like it when strangers have hats of any kind or hair that's done up or curly. If your head is bigger than he thinks it should be, you're enemy #1.

Humans have uncanny valley, dogs have poofy head syndrome.

What ancient danger did we evovle defensive instincts and predatory fears of?

Mine never reacted to different clothing either. He was a pretty chill guy in general.

If you went under the blankets, though, he'd desperately try to dig you out lmao

My husky goes ballistic with howling if you say "space camp" and it's pretty much the only time she gets loud. She is very unlike most huskies lol

I had a friend with rottweilers who hated hats. They were awesome and oh so cuddly but gave me a good scare the first time I found out.

Never met a cat that seemed to care, or maybe I thought it was something else since a cat avoiding people isn't uncommon.
