Weird, but definitely an improvement over chopping the tails off fish:

At least it doesn't harm the animals. That is as long as they use non toxic dye. And I personally don't think the dogs really care. I've dyed my toy poodle's mohawk and I don't think he cared much, although he loved the attention and petting he was getting from strangers :)

Definitely weird, but I think I want to give the panda dogs a huuuuge hug. Those are some well-done dye jobs.

Totally want that tiger

Wow, I can't believe how much those puppies actually look like pandas.

People are paying a fortune to have their dogs dyed like that. It's only for the stupidity rich. Can't imagine making a dog stand for hours while they do that. I think they look better than these silly poodles at the dog shows, tho.

What about how the dog feels about it.
Have you ever had to shave the fur off a large dog?Did you notice how insulted the animal gets.They do!They get down right insulted.They love their fur coat.
It is not something I would ever consider to do to my pet.
Different strokes I guess.
Stuffed animals sure why not.

I'd have to agree. I'll admit it is super cute but it is kind of like people want a live stuffed animal. Take your pup as he is! At least they're not trying to acquire a real tiger or panda, though!

That is very true! Exotics like that belong in the wild.
There are very few people capeable of giving a real exotic pet.Many zoos have enough trouble with it.

haha tell me about it, I can't believe the zoo here has lions and tigers (their indoor enclosure is not open to the public), because last I checked Africa and India didn't have freezing weather and snow for 75% of the year! But then again I don't understand how people visit the zoo when it's that cold. I'm sure the polar bears are happy in those times, though!
