Around this time, furry animal figurines were popular at malls and gift shops. Supposedly they were made of dog fur. True or not, they soon became very unpopular.

If you buy a knock-off version of high end parka, the fur trim on the hood will probably be dog.
The fur trim is not just a fashion thing.
