The next time I find tics in my dog's ears, I'll spray paint them gold and become an "artiste". This is gross.

Nice pup!

aguy, these are not tics as in Tourette's syndrome, but they look more like worms to me.
In any case, poor dog...

Isn't that a fox, not a dog?

I thought it was a mixed breed, you know, like a coyote-border collie. ;-) I thought foxes were K9s, just with bigger tails, sharper teeth.
The question is, is the poor beast stuffed, like Trigger or Lenin? Did it get its bling only after a visit to the taxidermist?
I guess this could be the new look of reenchantment -- Elsa Peretti postmodernist resacralizes the wild with golden parasites for the benefit of aesthetically deprived Homo sapiens. Animals thus decorated could make handsome installations in museums of natural history or even fine arts museums during Diana Vreeland retrospectives.
Set that fox free!

i think this is one of the cooler things i have ever seen. particularly the soft gaze of the fox's eyes... combined with the utter weirdness of the golden maggots seeking exit from a rotting brain.

Just wondering - You are right of course, I knew this was a fox, its just that I would find it much easier to grab my dog and use him as a palate than to try an catch one of those nifty foxes.
Felix - You are right I meant 'ticks' (Ixodoidea) and the things in the pic look like herbivorous larva (mealworms?) and not blood suckers.
