The quake struck at around 4 am local time, and residents reported at least four large aftershocks.  Over 300 people have been rescued, and Madonna, who performed there on Saturday night, offered her condolences for all the victims and their families.

“This was strong enough to not only be felt here in the [Taiwanese] capital city of Taipei but also in the southern provinces of China,” Elise Hu, an NPR correspondent who was in Taipei at the time, told CNN. “Taiwan is very used to earthquakes and tremors, but this is far more significant than the island has seen in quite a while.”

As soon as disaster struck, the search for survivors began.  Twenty-three search and rescue dogs have been dispatched, and are working hard to find more people and other dogs.  The little dog who was pulled from the building collapse appears to be in good shape, and has hopefully been reunited with family.

But that’s exactly what you’ll find if take your fur baby to one of the groomers in Taiwan where the current trend is to turn your small dog into a circle or square-headed hound. It’s definitely odd, but also somehow makes them even cuter.
From long and wavy to short and circular.

“Huey Lewis told me it was hip to be square.”

The natural lip gloss really sells this one.

They should call this the “flying saucer.”

“I have never felt more beautiful.”

Who knows how long the trend will last, but don’t be surprised if you see even more shapes hitting the streets in your neighborhood. I, for one, am hoping to see a fluffy trapezoid in my future.
