could it have anything to do with the superbowl commercial from a few years ago? A guy couldn't go into a bar w/ his dog so he put it on his head like dreads and spoke with a jamacain accent and ordered a beer. It was pretty funny. I forget the dog breed name but I saw one on the last fancy dog show. Looks just like it has dreadlocks for hair, very cute dog. Dunno if this helps or makes things worse.
