When your dog is the most important thing in your home, it’s crucial to keep him or her groomed in tip-top shape. For inspiration, take these dramatically cute photos from L.A.-based animal photographer Grace Chon.

Chon frequently chooses to highlight the Japanese style of dog grooming, which uses creative hairstyles to make pups look as cute as possible.

β€œThere is a lot of whimsy and creativity involved in making the dogs look almost like they’re stuffed animals,” Chon told HuffPost.

We wouldn't argue with that:
