China -- Dyeing Poodles pink, Peek-a-poo's purple, and other breeds a spectrum of inspiring colors is a trend that has been growing around the world for the past decade.
Dog owners in China, however, have taken dyeing dogs colors to a new level by dyeing their canine friends to resemble other animals. Pandas and tigers are just some of the choices, a telling example of the changing views towards dogs in Asia.

As China's economy has prospered, the Chinese have begun pampering their pets as much as Americans.
It was only 10 years ago that dogs in China were still eaten in public restaurants and raised on farms strictly for food. Today, eating dog meat is seen as a poor reflection of a past practice that is largely no longer a part of society.
Only time will tell what new trends in dog pampering develops in China and around the world.
