If you have 'n' items and 'm' containers, where 'n' is greater than 'm', then at least one container must hold more than one item. This is the Pigeonhole Principle, dog hairs don't go to infinity, lets assume 10M. since there are way more dogs than 10M in the world, its a given that at least one of them has to match hair counts. Also... arent there hairless dogs, at least in the colloquial sense?
