I have to say, "So what?", honestly.
We dye dogs at my grooming shop, if the customer requests it. It is a quick, painless, harmless procedure, no worse than a bath for a dog.
And the dogs LOVE it after it's done, because they get TONS of attention, pats and compliments ... from everyone they meet.
I think whether or not someone dyes thier poodle green for St. Patricks day is the VERY LEAST of the dog-loving world's worries. If someone loves their dog enough to spend money to get its hair dyed, and then of course spends time with the dog, showing it off to all their friends ... sounds like a happy, loved dog to me.
I'm MUCH more concerned with the millions of dogs being starved, beaten, euthanized, abused, neglected, experimented on and bred to death than I am with whether or not Fluffy is pink or blue.
"We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam
"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
