A few weeks ago we did a post about the ghastly practice of dyed dogs.

More often than not, the subject of this is the poodle, perhaps because they don’t shed their hair.

A Breed Apart

People often joke about poodles and their haircuts, but really they are intelligent and kind animals who make great pets for those with allergies. Not to mention they come in a rainbow of colors, naturally.

Animals seem to be a popular subject for photoshop junkies, and dogs are no exception. As we started searching we realized just how many amateur photoshop artists there are out there.

This is just the tip of the iceberg, we found so many great images we had to split them up into different articles. So enjoy the first edition of crazy photoshop dogs.

Dyed Poodle

Animal lovers in general we are very opposed to this type of adornment. Seriously, these dogs are beautiful just the way they are. Dying them to satisfy our own egos is just wrong.
