Joy Douglas, owner of Zing Hair Salon in Boulder, Colo., has received a $1,000 ticket from an animal-control officer for using coloring her white poodle pink with organic beet juice.
"We do it to promote awareness of breast cancer," said 30-year-old Douglas, who has owned the hair salon for three years. "Cici is a conversation piece. Customers come in and ask why the dog is pink. So we tell them about breast-cancer awareness, about the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, and then we ask for a donation."
After several customers complained about the pink dog, the Humane Society of Boulder Valley investigated the situation. The Human Society's visit is what caused a formal citation.
It's the BPP's Most.
