Sandy Paws is a champion pooch groomer who uses a selection of semi-permanent dyes, pens, sprays, chalks and henna — just about anything she can get her hands on — to colour poodle fur. Her shop is located in Yucca Valley, California, should you feel like dropping by, because her website Pink Coyote demonstrates her extraordinary skill at making a perfectly good-looking poodle resemble a dragon. Or chicken. Or how about a peacock? She’s won awards for this doggy doodling idiocy. Her poodle Cindy seems quite happy, or perhaps sedated, having been made to look like a Ninja Turtle. Or camel. Why? We have no bloody idea. Boredom, being American, some deep-seated metal or perhaps aesthetic issues? It makes dyeing dogs to look like giant pandas normal behaviour.
