Dog lovers in Japan have taken grooming to a whole new level of strange by styling their dogs into perfectly trimmed and symmetrical cubes.

Japan, a country known for their love of turning everyday items and things into block form (see the 'square watermelon' for proof), are so taken by the craze that it’s proved a big hit at this Tokyo dog show.

We highly doubt the cubed pooches trend will take off elsewhere - but we love it all the same.

Check out these pictures of Japan’s answer to Crufts and more straight-edged doggies...

6. I seriously doubt this is becoming a craze here in Japan

For example, the company whose name is shown under the dog in the foreground, Sepia Pet Care School (or セピア動物専門学院 ) does not have any pictures of other square pooches either on its website, or on its Facebook page.
