Speaking of dead hedgehogs (thanks, Prof.KM),
our bull terrier once found a decomposing 'hog and proceeded to shove her face into it, resulting in her head becoming covered in fleas (or some other small bug). Dad decided that the best way to remove these would be to wrap his hand in sellotape and pat her on the head; this did indeed remove all of the fleas, but also quite a bit of hair, which never really grew back properly. Add this to the scar on her nose, from when she had attempted to chase a cat whilst still on the lead (cat wasn't stupid and could see she was no threat, thus proceeded to claw her nose open), and she wound up being a very odd looking dog - she was also bandy-legged and short, as a result of her being the runt of the litter.

Come to think of it, she also had a bald belly and one bald leg, where hair had failed to grow back after being shaved before surgery. Probably a good job that she didn't moult much.

Sounds like a candidate for Best of Breed at Crufts
