This is not related to the dog whisperer - but to the pink dog. When I was about 10 years old someone gave us a white mid-sized poodle. My dad owned a gasoline station and people without money were always trading for gasoline. Anyway, Pierre (yes, that was his name) was the sweetest dog. My mom and I used to put the colored hair dye in his hair (pink, green, blue) but not all over, just on the "puff" on his head or tail or legs. We didn't do it all the time, only occasionally. It was the kind of hair dye that washed right out. He loved it - he would get so much attention at the service station - and he just lapped up the attention.
I had completely forgotten about that!
