A Chinese dog owner dyed his golden retriever scarlet to show him off on social media – as some internet users expressed worries it would harm the dog.
A video shows the owner, from Guangzhou, Guangdong Province in southern China, holding the puppy – now a dark pink – and making him face the camera.
Tinges of golden fur can still be made out around the eyes and nose of the unimpressed-looking pup’s face but the majority of his coat has turned a vibrant pinkish red.
In another clip, it appears a pair of black glasses have also been painted onto the pet as the cameraman laughs.
