When I saw it, it eerily reminded me of this album cover:
That's Kansas' "Freaks of Nature". It's a picture of Adrian Jeftichew -- he (and his father) suffered from a condition called hypertrichosis. Adrian worked the circus sideshow circuit in Russia, until he was purchased by PT Barnum and brought to the US. They gave him the stage name "Jo-Jo the Dog-Faced Boy". Barum came up with the performance story that a hunter tracked Adrian and his father down to their cave and captured them, that they were savage, and stressing he looked like a dog, obliged that Adrian growl and bark.
Pretty good album. Here's the title track:

Not bad, I like some Kansas songs. 8)
Dang I haven't looked up hypertrichosis in ages. It always made me sad the way the people with it were treated. Isn't much different today from what I've seen, there are still 'dog faced boys' in freak shows. At least they're not made to growl and bark.
