A Chinese dog owner dyed his golden retriever scarlet to show him off on social media – as some netizens expressed concerns it would harm the dog.
A video shows the owner, from Guangzhou, south China’s Guangdong province, holding the puppy – now a dark pink – and looking at the camera.
Golden shades of fur can still be seen around the eyes and nose of the unimpressed-looking puppy’s face, but most of his fur has turned a bright pink.
