Under the Tik Tok handle @danthebigreddog, a Great Pyreenes pup named Dandy (short for Dandelion) has been dyed bright red. The dog’s owner, Chloe has been catching a lot of backlash from viewers – some even accusing her of “animal abuse.”

Chloe has tried to defend herself on her decision to dye her dog bright red, and explained that she feels more secure because it’s less likely that her dog would be stolen and a lot easier should that happen to identify her pooch. She added that Dandelion would not be hit by a car thanks to his brightly colored coat and a much easier dog to spot should he run out into the road. Chloe also mentioned that the dye was good for his fur.

In a video which she shared on TikTok as well as on Instagram, Chloe added that she uses dog-friendly Opawz Dog Hair Dye, which is advertised as non-toxic and which, according to Chloe, makes the dog’s hair very soft and fluffy. The color can last up to 20 washings.

On another note worth considering, Chloe said that her 130 pound dog is now more approachable to people, and as they pass by – they smile instead of making a wide detour because of Dandy’s size

Some harsh criticism followed, while some internet users defended Chloe and said as long as she was using the dye safely on her dog, that choice was her prerogative. Some people stated that Dandy looked gorgeous.

Checking out Instagram and Tik Tok, Dandy does seem to be happy and healthy. It is doubtful the dog really cares about what color he is, so it’s obviously not weighing on his personality nor his canine friends’ acceptance standards.

As for Tik Tok, Dandy has garnered more than 334,000 followers and on Instagram, the big red dog has 3,155 followers. Perhaps – all in a day’s work for a Clifford look-alike?
