Have you ever heard that owners and their pets start looking alike as they grow older? Well, that would certainly explain child/pet hair loss. Children can lose their hair too due to poor health and unsanitary conditions. The same is true of pets. They mostly start losing hair due to germs. But from what I’ve observed, children and pets start losing hair at the same time if it happens. Sure, it’s generally a dirty household, but that explains everything right there. For example, growing up back in the old neighborhood, there was this family called the Hensils. The children always ran around dirty and scruffy, wearing ragged clothing. Their house always looked like a tornado full of dirt hit it. The front door hung off its hinges with a broken glass frame. When people walked in and out of the house, they stepped through that broken frame instead of swinging open what was left of the door. Inside, clothes heaped up everything and holes plugged all the furniture and stuffing feel out. Dust collected on all the countertops and it was hard to breath. They had a dog that had bald spots dotting his side both young boys in the family had bald spots on their heads too.
