Omg!! You can’t believe this – the new designer dog!
(So dressing them up like people is not enough, now some people are dying them!)
I was phoned yesterday and asked by somebody if I thought it was ok to dye their dog! After I said absolutely no, can cause allergies etc, and plus it is a dog not a toy, the person went on to tell me that ‘simply everybody is not doing it”! I decided to have a look to see if this is now a trend and just look what I found! Below the story on this, there is another link to see what people in China are doing and the picture on this page came from this- mad, totally mad!
