At first glance, this super fluffy roll looks more like a folded blanket than a dog. Harvey, 6 months old, is a pet dog of the soft-skinned Shar Pei breed of 22-year-old owner Teresa Moll Arguimbau in Menorca, Spain. With his distinctive appearance, Harvey loves a full body care that involves moisturizing head to toe in order to be able to maintain his unique folds. Ms. Arguimbau said: “I was crazy about the wrinkles and the Harvey’s skin. It was very soft, and the wrinkles were beautiful.” Arguimbau describes that every time Harvey drank water, the water would flow through the wrinkles and Chloe, Harvey’s mother, was the one who had to go clean by licking the water from those wrinkles. To preserve Harvey’s strange fur, the owner Arguimbau must regularly apply moisturizer, every two days. It is known that the Shar Pei breed originated in the Far East, which has less wrinkles on the skin but over time, breeders have released more varieties.
The dog Harvey has two siblings, Dona and Louis, but both have gone to a new home. During the early days of his life, Harvey had problems with vision. The owner must take the veterinarian to see him so he can see. Arguimbau said: “Dona and Louis have no vision problems but Harvey does. Harvey has more wrinkles than his brothers. In the first two months, he didn’t see anything. Every week, I brought him to see him. The veterinarian and therapist also had to take antibiotics and creams. Fortunately, as time went on, Harvey gradually regained his vision even though one eye could not see clearly. “
