We're pretty sure this color doesn't occur naturally. "Harry Potter" actress Emma Watson was spotted walking a friend's dog after it was dyed a bright pink, The Daily Mail reports, and animal lovers are crying foul.
The 1-year-old bichon frise, Darcy, was reportedly dyed pink via a $140 beetroot-based semi-permanent dye treatment at Groom Dog City in London. While Groom Dog City's owner called the treatment harmless, vet Emma Milne isn't convinced.
"Dogs are not playthings; they are not dolls. If you are putting a chemical on a dog’s fur, you could cause that dog problems. Even if the dye is completely safe -- and the dye that Emma Watson has used should be absolutely fine -- you are still altering the way the dog looks and smells to other animals," she told the Mail.
Groom Dog City Owner Stuart Simons disagreed, telling the Mail: "All the dyes I use are completely animal-friendly. They are made from vegetable dye. I wet the dog, rub it on like a shampoo, leave it for five minutes and then wash it off. Because Darcy is white, it takes really well. She is a very calm dog, absolutely lovely, and she enjoys her groom."
Watson explained on Twitter that her friend was raising money for breast cancer awareness -- hence the pink color. Do you have a problem with pink pooches? Or was Watson's friend just supporting a good cause?

OK
+13It wasn't even her dog, so you can't blame Emma Watson. Dyeing a dog isn't something I'd do, but at least it was safe dye. I just don't see any point in dyeing a dog. And beet juice is harmless. People are making too big of a deal about this.
"Emma Watson Hangs With Dog After Pink Dye Job: OK or No Way?"
The question is asking, "Is it okay for Emma Watson to hang out with the dog after it's dye job?"
The answer is, "Sure, it's ok for Emma to hang out, walk, play, whatever, with her friend's dog after it was given a healthful, safe dye job of dubious color."
What a dumba$$ question. The article itself is poorly written and totally contradictory.
VIck and those like him are not at ALL comparable to people who dye their pets different colors safely. Vick shot and electrocuted dogs. He didn't turn them pink with beet juice. Watson's friend's dog was not harmed. It still has a roof over its head and food to eat. It probably receives good vet care and is healthy. Pink fur does not detract from the good care that it's owner does/could give, and it certainly does not mean that the dog was abused.
He/she Is a drag queen. Of corse attention is needed! Is that so bad?
So quick to judge and stereotype, yet so slow to accept and think about it.
I absolutely love my dog with a burning passion i would never hurt my dog and i would do this if it didn't hurt or bother her.
Those Dogs look happy to me and Jeffree has been doing that for years.
color your girl pink or your boy blue?
You say drag QUEEN,now I see the idiocy of it.
People have stupid ideas about other creatures.
