Woman Fined for Dying Poodle Pink
Submitted by For The Love of the Dog
Now this is a bit of an unusual story but it caught my attention. A Boulder, CO woman is facing a $1000 fine for dying her poodle pink. Normally I would find something like this frivolous but not necessarily abusive depending on what was being use to dye the dog. In this case, Joy Douglas, Cici’s owner, used either an organic, beet juice, or Kool-Aid to dye the little poodle, neither of which I can see as being problematic for the dog, and she actually had a very good reason for doing this. She dyes her dog pink to raise awareness for breast cancer. I have to admit, this is definitely a cause that I can support and agree with. Besides, doesn’t look like Cici minds too much and if you can handle a pink poodle, she sort of looks kind of cute too.
