Beware of Dog!

In the truth is stranger than fiction category, I bring you the following new trend of dog owners in China:dying their dogs to resemble wild animals. This one would be a major hit at Princeton in the P-rade!

These are small dogs--perhaps bichon or maltese-- dyed to resemble pandas. You have to admit the resemblance is striking, if bizarre.


The photos are courtesy of The Daily Mail and there are more. According to the article, the dogs don't seem to mind the primping and the grooming parlors are obviously making a fortune!

I am assuming everything eventually washes out but it seems to me that it might just be easier to purchase a costume or two!
