There is really nothing wrong with dyeing an animal's fur. People may say it looks stupid but I think it's so cute and especially for animals who LOVE extra attention, they will definitly love it. I don't think dogs can be embarrassed unless they know they are being laughed at or something along those lines. My dad once dyed a red, white and blue stripe on Sassy for the fourth of July. We were having a party. Everyone loved it. We also went to a nuring home once to visit my Grandma and my mom dyed pink spots on her. My grandma and everyone else who saw Sas loved it. Sassy actually acted as a "therapy" dog that day because the nursing home allowed you to bring dogs. A nurse wanted us to bring her into an old lady's room. She had no family and never really smiled or talked. She talked all about her old dog when she saw Sassy. It's amazing what an animal can do for a person.
