Pets dyed in China

Pandas are endangered animals, with only so few left in the world. So what do you do if you want a panda as a pet?
For some pet owners in China and Taipei, it means dyeing your dogs’ fur to look like one.
With more money to spend, newly wealthy Chinese people have embraced dogs as pets – as opposed to eating them in the past – as a symbol of their wealth.
The Chinese bring their dogs into restaurants and fuss over them in public, sometimes dressing their dogs in bizarre outfits. The dog-dyeing takes this pet obsession to a new high with pet dogs dyed to look like pandas or tigers.
Apparently, it is becoming a common practice for dog owners to take their dogs to grooming parlours where they are not only given a shampoo and trim, but a multi-coloured dye job as well.
Elsewhere in the world, some dog owners are concerned that the dye may harm the animals.
