That’s how Panda Chow Chows, a new business where clients can schedule photo shoots with the trio of pooches, was established.

Although she’s only been in business about a month, Meng has already been confronted with her fair share of controversy. Upon posting photos on Facebook, some commenters loved the Panda impersonators, while others pointed fingers at the owner, claiming animal cruelty.

Meng is certainly not the first to color her canines. Some pet salons offer dying services, and there are even special pet dyes available for consumer purchase.

In regards to painting her own pooches, the Chow Chow mom not only speaks to the dye’s safety–it is carefully applied by a professional with a market-approved, organic dye–but claims that the dogs love their new look.

Chow Chow Yumi was the first to dawn the new ‘do.

 “Yumi loved it and TouDou and DouDou were really jealous of her, so we tried it with them and they all had a new level of energy after it was done,” said Meng said in an article by Channel News Asia.

Meanwhile, the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) is not so convinced.

“Animals have natural coats and should be appreciated for what they are, rather than trying to alter them artificially…There are also potential side effects with no benefits to the animals, it can be physically harmful and subject the animal to stress in the process,” said SPCA Acting Executive Director Dr. Jaipal Singh Gil in the article.

Meng has a few words for the critics who say she’s objectifying her pets.

“Is this the same immorality that parents who turn their children into child models and actors display? If you watch the TV you indirectly already support child actors through your viewing figures (ratings) and TV advertising revenue,” she said in the article.

And to those who claim cruelty?

“Let’s get some proportionality here: Being cruel to a dog is locking it up all day so it gets no exercise, starving a dog to death, not cleaning up after it and letting it live in its own filth; being cruel to a dog is beating it, not dyeing your dog with 100 per cent organic product,” she said in the article.

The Panda Chow Chows founder also added that her dogs live in a spacious 35,000 square food home, and are treated to air-conditioning, multiple daily walks, and the best pet food available.

Meng’s final, fiery words on the subject?

“If after reading all of this, you can still not bring your ‘moral crusade’ to a logical argument and conclusion, then when you see us walking the dogs around Singapore, don’t be a hypocrite and come over to take personal photos with them and try to stroke them and play with our dogs. Hypocrites are not welcome to do so,” she said in the article.

In February 2015, Coldwell Banker Real Estate joined forces with Adopt-a-Pet.com, the largest nonprofit pet adoption website in North America, to launch the “Homes for Dogs Project”, an initiative aimed at sharing resources to find homes for adoptable dogs.

“We have been so honored to make a difference in these pets’ lives”, said Sean Blankenship, chief marketing officer of Coldwell Banker Real Estate LLC. “There is a saying that you don’t adopt a dog, the dog adopts you. To think of how many families we have touched this year as a result of the campaign is truly humbling”.

Aside from hosting events and drives, the company is helping boost adoptions by showcasing the human-dog bond and all that our four-legged friends do for us.

Like this video, which tells the true story of Owen, a boy with a rare genetic disorder (only 40 other people in the world have it) that causes his muscles to constantly contract, painfully.

Haatachi was beaten, abused and left for dead on a railroad track. He lost his tail and leg from a passing train.

Owen’s in a wheelchair, Haatachi has three-legs.

The pair are inseparable. When Owen starts to have a muscle spams, Haatchi runs to him.

“Before I had Haatachi, I was afraid of strangers and I didn’t want to go out,” Owen says.

But after Haatachi, he wasn’t scared anymore.

“He changed my life and I really wanted to go out more,” Owen says.

The following video shows how adopting a pet can forever change the meaning of home and the lives of those who reside in it.

October is American Humane Association Adopt a Dog Month as well as the ASPCA’s Adopt A Shelter Dog Month. So if you are looking for a new best friend, check your local shelter or rescue   – we are sure he is waiting to go home with you.
