Joy Douglas, owner of Zing Hair Salon, will appear in municipal court Tuesday on a charge of violating a city ordinance that prohibits the coloring or dyeing of animals. It was passed several years ago to discourage families from dyeing rabbits and chicks for Easter.
Lisa Pedersen, director of the humane society, said she's received complaints and they've warned Douglas several times.
Douglas is certain the pink stain doesn't harm Cici: She uses organic beet juice.

While roaming the streets of Toronto during Woofstock, I found this cute little pooch quite fascinating.

toronto woofstock 2007. i thought "why do that to a dog?"
raising awareness for breast cancer and using organic beet juice seems legit to me.
although, i now have a sudden craving for cotton candy.

this is a dog that belongs to a friend. she is often dyed different colors and this pink color is also from organic beet juice.
