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.
Not a wild dog, right? No. So who gives a damn what it smells like, as long as it's clean?
Emma's dog? No, so she isn't responsible; get off her damn back!
Is the dog well cared for? Yes. Being abused, causing obvious problems to the dog? No, so everyone shut up and chill out.
The dog is in obviously good health, as these pictures show, and until a vet who's SEEN and TREATED the dog says otherwise, then shut your mouths and worry about people throwing puppies into rivers or stomping on kittens as a fetish. Better yet, focus on catching pedophiles. No offense, but some of you are acting like the damn world is ending because someone dyed THEIR dog. Not YOUR dog. Get over it.
P.S., Go back to school and learn how to spell and use grammar, "pops"!
Even if this is animal-friendly it would be enough for her to dye her own hair pink in order to get attention for breast cancer awareness.
