Animal Cruelty
So I'm walking down on Fisherman's Wharf yesterday and I see this girl with a hot pink leash. I'm thinking to myself...that's really bright...then I follow the leash down to the ground to see a tiny pink maltese. I'm watching as the maltese is scurrying to keep up with her owner while the owner is unaware of how tiny the dog is. Do people not realize that they are much bigger than their dogs and that they take larger steps than them? Anyways, as she's walking with her puppy, she can hear everyone saying how cute the puppy is and wondering why it's pink. You can tell she loves this attention. I'm walking directly behind her and realize that she's half dragging this poor puppy on it's feet as it can't keep up. Then I see that the pup is trying to pee and can't cause she stops to go and the owner keeps draggin her without noticing. "Excuse me, you dog is trying to pee!" She quickly turns around and makes sure her dog goes pee and then picks her up to make sure she is ok. I go and pet the dog and ask to hold her and find out the following information. Yes, the dog's hair has been colored. Yes, it is a maltese. And it's only 3 months old. The dog was so adorable and yes it was cute to see a pink dog walking along but isn't that so mean? A 3 month old dog, that is pink, being dragged cause it can't keep up. When my dog was only 3 months, I carried her everywhere...for fear that someone might step on her. The wharf is so busy, who knows what could happen to her.
And I know that me and my friends have joked about coloring my dog black so that she looked the same as when I got her but we're only joking! I would never do that. Sometimes, I just feel that people should get interviewed before having a pet.

pink leash, pink dog, i bet she's wearing some pretty hot pink lingerie underneath. - rockstar
Poor dog. In the name of pet owners around the world, you should have b!tch slapped her in front of everyone.
I wonder if she colours the dog's hair and changes the leash as colours come in and out of style. Like, maybe a year ago, maybe the dog was more brown or baby blue?
Poor dog. Just an accessory to an idiot's life.
Or maybe a year ago...the dog was in non-existence. :)
I hope someone told her she was dragging her dog. Now she'll continue to drag her dog everywhere.
I dunno about it being a "poor dog". Colouring it pink with a pink leash. I think the owner spoils the shit out of the dog but I guess it might be better off sitting in some cage in a pet store somewhere. - rockstar
Do they even make pink dye for animal fur, particularly for puppies? If not, using a human product is endangering the animal. And obviously so is dragging it along. Dogs are animals, not cute accessories.
there is only one rockstar
... thank goodness.
And isn't it bad for a dog / pet to be eating people food on a regular basis? My cousins in Taiwan would feed their dog whatever they were eating. Rice and whatevers. I always thought that was a little strange, but at least they didn't drag it around and paint it different colours to match their toenails or whatever.
That Dog should be happy because if it lived in china, i would skin it, put seasoning salt on it and stick it on my rotisserie.

That is completely uncalled for, JoL! Yeesh.
You don't need seasoning salt for it; a little pepper is just fine.
Well, as long as you don't feed your dog that much human food, I think it's ok. I give my dog food while I'm eating too...it was a bad habit that I started for her but as long as I don't give her too much, it's good.
