Dying 'Assistance' Dogs Pink
17 Answers
Yes, i know, weird question.
I am in a FB group for border collie owners when an American lady posted a pic of her dog which parts of it were dyed pink, so i asked why. Her reply was hes an assistance dog and it makes him harder to steal.
Thought it was a big weird but maybe in America!!
But today in our park met another lady who had a labrador with a pink tail , asked her the same question and got the same reply.
Never heard of this before and how does is help anyway?
Any thoughts?

I well remember poodles being dyed for no other reason than a fashion trend years ago.
There are plenty of cropped dogs in the UK, the owners claim it was done in Europe to evade the law.

and ONLY learnt that black dye used in henry VII coffin cover was VERY expensive. ( anne Boleyn's fave colour was the..... fab expensive black dye)

I don't know...maybe a pink tail makes *that* dog recognisable and easier to find if stolen. It has a different value if its an assistance dog. But if all dogs get dye jobs, none stand out...defeats the purpose. I'm just trying to find a reason...
Anyone who dyes their dog for fun should have it taken away. The dog didn't have a choice...it just draws attention to the stupid owner.
Just checked...its illegal in several states. Good for them!
