A dog owner in Heilongjiang Province has given "hair of the dog" a whole new meaning by developing a rather large appetite for her pet's fur.

Anda resident Wang Jing, 27, claims she has consumed over 1,000 servings of fur from her toy poodle, "Kuku."

Wang explained she had her first taste two years ago while cleaning up Kuku's fur balls at her home.

A graphic designer by trade, Wang explained she ate the hair due to "pressure at work." Wang said snacking on 4-year-old Kuku's fur soon became a daily addiction.

The fur has a sweet chocolate-like flavor, and tastes best after Kuku is bathed, Wang noted.

Wang's dog hair obsession resembles a disorder called pica, a condition defined by an impulse to consume materials such as hair and dirt.
