In recent years there has been a growing trend in Asia. What you're seeing in the following photos are not baby panda bears or tigers being walked on the street. These are dogs dyed to look like exotic animals. Chow Chow dogs dyed to resemble pandas and retrievers dyed to look like tigers. Dyed pets has been a trend for for some time but the makeovers for the exotic animal look has been a recent craze. As China enjoys its economic boom, more and more Chinese are now able to pamper their pets and dress them up as exotics.
