Poor Maltese. I wonder if they kept them like that... I think that's awfully cruel of them! They make dogs seem like a fashion statement. "Dye-Your-Dog-To-Match-Your-Outfit".
I saw this show on MTV once. A lady brought in her poodle to get dyed pink, also, because she says she loves pink and thats all she mostly wears. Plus, the dog will match the dog carrier.
