Violet the dog almost died after owner dyed her purple
 

That's just awful. I've seen dogs with their hair dyed, and more power to you, but make sure you use animal-safe products!! They DO exist!! You can buy dye specifically made for animals, they're usually made with vegan products and just temporary.

Personally, I would never dye my dog's hair, it's tacky IMO, but to each their own.

Sounds like a very cruel and stupid thing to do to a pet.

It seems like everyday you read where someone, somewhere does something to top the story you read the day before that some idiot did to top the story from the day before that.

So true and very disturbing. I think one of the dogs Cisco rescued was dyed pink.

Anthropomorphism of a pet for one's own personal gratification is disgusting.

I signed the petition. What happened to this poor pup is outrageous.
Many animal abusers are guilty of and/or go on to more serious things.
The laws for animal abuse need some serious updating as they are far too lenient whereas the abusers are concerned.

What a monster. I wish the law was more strict on animal abuse... Animals have their own feelings and can feel pain just as fine as any human.
