Unlike humans most beings main sense isn't sight. For a lot of animals attraction isn't by sight rather, it's by smell. So if based of smell they will find a mate.
You need to remember that dogs aren't humans so they don't have human thoughts or feelings. They have dog thoughts and feelings.
Also dogs generally more impulsive so if it doesn't cause them pain or pleasure than they probably don't care.

Again like I said I don't think dogs care.
You are trying to say that the dogs are thinking like humans. They don't get jealous of other dogs because they think they're more attractive, and they don't get self conscious because they're overweight. Those are human thought processes that dogs don't have.
Plus that dog doesn't even look sad.

Yes that dog does look sad.
They do look at each other and do judge a little by looks for attractiveness but the rest is purely survival. They want their pups to be able to survive long enough to pass on their seed to the next generation to increase the rate of survival. If one female dog is not as attractive as another female dog that is right next to it in the male dogs eyes, he does go for the more attractive female to say "I claim this because I am better" than the other males will do the best they can to get the next in line and so on and so forth.

I don't know exactly how dogs go about choosing who to reproduce with but I'm pretty sure when their looking for a mate the probably don't look around to find the best one. They probably SNIFF around and smells who's ready.
Like I said, I don't know much about the way dogs reproduce. Though I'm fairly sure you don't either.
Like I said, I don't know much about the way dogs reproduce. Though I'm fairly sure you don't either.
Dogs hump pillows, toys, cats, -whatever-. Mangy, dirty dogs on the street reproduce. Dogs reproduce with other dogs that aren't even their own breed. They aren't picking their mate based on how pretty they are. They really don't care. I could find the dirtiest, matted dog out there and as long as she was in heat an intact male would still breed with her.
And what does it matter anyway? Do you think the owner of this dog is breeding it? You don't even know if it's spayed or neutered or if it even ever sees another dog. It will probably never have pups in it's life and it's parents only raise it for the first 8 weeks before it's taken away and then they have another litter.
I love animals. I work with them. But you're putting waaaaay too much into whether dogs really care about their appearance or not.

You seem to be anthropomorphizing a lot here. The dog doesn't seem "sad"...she looks like she's calm and focused on something off-screen. Her shepherd backskull makes the eye look slanted downward when shot from that angle; that is morphology, not mood. Since the color vision of dogs is not nearly as sensitive as a human's, it's unlikely that she has noticed the color groom, and less likely that she cares. Fur color does not appear to have any impact on the social behavior of dogs, who are more interested in behavioral attitude and scent.
When I see a colored or other carefully groomed dog, I see a pet that someone enjoys spending time with and is proud of---likely a very happy dog! The dog may not be aware of the color, but she is certainly aware of her person giving her special attention, and perhaps more human excitement when others see her. Dogs tend to like this!
Because I show my dogs, I spend more than the typical amount of time and detail grooming them; a full groom on my sheltie includes three kinds of shampoo, various grooming sprays, texturizing mousse, grooming chalk, extensive trimming and about three hours. Because most of these products are scented, they should have a much greater impact on him than any visual/color change, but he doesn't seem to care, and in fact seems to really like the scent of one of the sprays. He, like most dogs, really likes the 1:1 attention he gets from his person and cares about that more than anything else.

What? Dogs and cats (at least dogs that I know) take pride in their appearance as well as their own being and when they get dirty, they will actually look sad like in the picture above OR not show it and then just not be as happy as they were until their own fur shines through once again.
Canines, and just about any other animal out there, chose their mate based on PHEROMONES in its SCENT. A male dog will smell a female in heat and mate with her regardless of what she looks like. You could spray the pheromones of a bitch in heat on a stuffed dog and a male dog would mate with it....it doesn't care if the female is bigger or smaller than it, or if the female is ugly...All a male dog cares about is whether or not the female is in heat and if she will allow him to mate. And if the male is neutered, he doesn't get the urge to procreate anyway. He will be mentally a puppy for his entire life.
Most animals mate simply because their instincts tell them to procreate. They don't actively connect having sex to making puppies. A female's hormones tell her to find a male, and the male's tell him to find a female. They mate...that's it. The female doesn't realize that the mating = puppies...
Stop anthropomorphizing animals who don't think like we do. Don't reason like we do. A dog sees itself in a mirror and doesn't see itself, it sees another dog behind a window....and either wants to meet the mysterious dog behind the glass, bark at it, or doesn't care (cats are usually like this)
Humans add human-like personalities to dogs because we feel connected to them. Dogs and humans are pack animals. A pet dog is part of the family, just like the dog's humans are part of its pack...

By this logic, I should not clip/groom my dog because it gets rid of their natural look.
If my dogs had it their way, they'd be covered in mud leaves (what dog looks sad when they're rolling in the mud? mine sure don't) with overgrown nails (none of them like having them clipped, should I not do that?), but they are my dogs. I pay for their food. I pay for their existence. If I don't want a muddy house or hair everywhere, they're going to tolerate bathing and clipping/grooming. How is dying a dog any different to that? I can promise you most dogs care more about spending time with their owner (it must have taken quite a while to "paint" this dog) than their actual "appearance", which is just... no. i've had loads of dogs since I was a kid and I cannot remember any of them showing they cared about their appearance, even the english bulldog who got his nails painted pink and his body covered in bows - he enjoyed the attention. When I had a little three legged bichon, I'd do his clipping/grooming myself and shave him to have a mohawk, which got dyed green. He was still completely happy and, if anything, enjoyed the extra attention it got him.
As for the picture of the dog looking "sad", the dog looks more like it's focused on something. Probably someone standing down the hall. That looks more like my dogss laid back, paying attention face that "oh my god, that dog is so sad!"
Lots of animals do not choose a mate based on appearance either (the only animal I can think of that for sure DOES besides humans is some species of birds). A lot of them choose a mate via which male wins fights, etc. Not "oh, your coat color is pretty!"
It's not actually harming the dog. There is no reason for anyone to be upset by this. Go yell at your neighborhood psycho torturing stray cats instead.

Excuse me,but, you're more wrong than 2 catholic school boys fucking. A cognative being has the ability to question it's own existance. It has the ability to recognize itself and understand who it is. Only a handful of animals on this planet have that ability, such as chimps, dolphins, and some parrots. Dog's are based purely on instinct. They may appear to have different personallities and that might be true but they certainly cannot ask themselves why they exist, which is cognition. Have you ever seen a dpg question it's reality by killing itself?
There is no reason to question your existence other than to come up with a so called "logical" explanation such as "I am a man of god" or "I am destined to help people." All that is needed is instinct and nothing else. The rest is what has been learned just to be "more evolved" than other creatures.
I mean the animals that do not have are not cognitive beings have been around without questioning why they exist but just sleep, eat, reproduce, and die. That is all that is needed, the rest is a burden.

It is not an uneducated opinion since I know that I am alive because I am a result of an egg cell and sperm cell such as you.
What ever results from my life is merely just objects which will eventually be forgotten and gone over. Same for you and your actions. Eventually they will be forgotten and paved over with other events from another living creature.

1)yes I have 2) Im gay
The people that have a "reason" to live make it up themselves to make them feel important and special in their own way. Sure they are different than everyone else but there is one thing that EVERY LIVING THING has in common...life. You are created by cells, you are a living organism of cells, and then all the cells die and decompose into the ground. That is all life is. There are no "special meanings" it is all made up in the individuals mind to make them feel special and useful.

But you JUST SAID the reason for life was to PROCREATE now you are saying it's only to be happy!? Whats going on I am SOOO confused!!!!...not really. But seriously, learn a book or some shit. Life is alot of things, making babies, loving, experiencing, painting dogs with food coloring, trolling guys who have never gotten a piece of pussyin their ill begotten lives...thats life! Fuck it!
Life is procreating yea but life is also living which guess what...is INSTINCT and guess what...is NATURAL so life is living and procreating if you want.
I never said you couldn't be gay or lesbian or what ever the hell you want to be just saying what life is supposedly "meant" for. Besides, love is non existent except for in the mind. It is a so called emotion that can not be tested and is made up for people to find a "reason" to be with someone else other than enjoying their company a lot more than others.

Actually, friend, while it's true that the term "cognition" refers to thinking, a "cognitive" being is one that is capable of thinking any thoughts whatsoever, no matter how simple or instinctive. Fish are cognitive, cows are cognitive, and yes, dogs are cognitive. I believe you are looking for the term "sapient", which refers to a creature with the ability to, as you put it, question its own existence, "I think, therefore I am", and all that. :3
Well, that's not actually true, friend; the term "sentient" really refers to the ability to 'feel' emotionally, as opposed to the ability to 'reason' logically. Sentience is something that most mammals and reptiles possess, as opposed to insects and some fish, it's generally simplified as "the ability to experience suffering", and is therefore a focal point of animal rights groups. However, it is a very understandable mistake, as for decades now, Star Trek and its various sequel series used the term "sentient" to refer to alien species when what they really meant was "sapient", which, again, refers to creatures with the ability for introspection, and as a result, the terms have become interchangeable in modern culture. :3
The dog probably liked the attention, and if anything will be displeased by the bath, later? This is a real dog, they don't care about that kind of shit.
Dogs need baths like ever other month, anyway. I know my friend's white horse LOVED to be painted, and my dogs have all liked silly collars, bandanas, and (non-restrictive) clothing. I even had a cat that loved necklaces, this cat would not wear a collar, but she'd wear a necklace. As long as you're happy and having a positive social interaction, the dog will enjoy the attention. They don't like being mocked, but that's an emotional/social thing, not a complicated understanding of "oh no, I'm a rainbow".
Dogs function on a less complicated level than people, but they're fairly empathetic. They understand what you mean (like if you intend to mock them, if you're angry, if you're sad, or if you're having fun with them)- but they don't understand frivolous, shallow things like "I'm ugly", unless you treat them like they are. A dog doesn't care what it looks like unless a human cares.
Of course this will vary by breed intelligence, I've never dealt much with non-intelligent breeds, though I would assume they're just more simple.

Ok, look at the dogs face. If he/she was enjoying the attention than it would not have that look on its face.
My dog wore collars and she HATES having anything else on her. She loved baths though. She absolutely hates her fur covered up. She DOES care what she looks like because not only does she know she looks better with her clean, DISTINCTIVE fur, but also feels better.

Holy fucking shit! It was a BAD PICTURE!!!! THEY GOT THE DOG AT A BAD FUCKING ANGLE!!! JESUS TITTY FUCKING CHRIST!!! IT'S AN ANIMAL! You know what my grandpa would do when his cats or dogs got sick? Fucking shoot them in the done peace with a .22 and get another fucking dog! CHRIST!
It's really more likely that the dog dislikes the camera, most of my pets hate having their pictures taken.
I can guarantee your dog couldn't give less of a fuck about her distinctive fur. Dogs are not visual animals, as long as they're not caused discomfort and they're not made fun of, they don't care.

Just because you dog doesn't like sweaters doesn't mean she cares what she looks like. It's probably because she doesn't like the restricting feeling. My chow mix hates sweaters but she loves it when I shave her down except for the fur on her spine, I give her a mohawk and sometimes colour it purple or red.
Check it, bitch. If a taboo is a taboo whats the difference between two boys fucking or a boy and a dog? Im not saying I go out and pork my pooch, because One. I wouldn't and 2. I don't own a stupid mutt. All I'm saying is to have one evil is to have all evils. You can't just accept SOME fucked up shit and shun the rest.
Wow. What the fuck is all the hate for this? You buncha furry drama queens act like it's a picture of him straddling the dogs cock or something.
I have a white dog I dyed in Amaterasu swirls and markings for Halloween....what's the big fucking deal? I thought most furries would be all happy for a rainbow tail dog.

wow I don't understand what's making people so upset about this
I used to do this with my little white dog when I was little
as long as the dog doesn't care / isn't getting hurt / the markers/food-coloring/whatever are non-toxic and washable then it shouldn't matter
...but then again lol furries

think of how many babies and little kids get markers all over their fingers and then put them in/near their mouths and all over their faces
I'm pretty sure non-toxic can also count for ingestion
food coloring shouldn't harm the dog, either. since, you know, it's for FOOD, thus it's okay to be eaten. there's also plenty of natural food dyes out there if you'd rather not use artificial stuff, too.

......except the things they -can't-. Like....chocolate. And raisins. And Avocado. Onions. Some vitamins, like Iron Supplements. Green potatoes. Voltaren, an arthritis medication, which is fatal. Other drugs that can be fatal are aspirin and ibuprofen. Dogs completely lack the enzyme necessary to break down and metabolize ibuprofen.
So....yeah. Aside from THAT...

Its just shameful... Every day I go to the pound and see all these sad, painted dogs I only wish I could afford to take care of. Don't humans understand how traumatizing a "color experience" is to a species with near color blind vision?? Their depression is as obvious as the crudely doodled peace sign on their butts.
Dogs are not colorblind. http://www.vtvets.org/owners/health.....lorblind.shtml
When you get mud or dirt or food or substances on your hair or skin, you know about it unless it was somehow placed there without your nerve endings catching on.
Dogs have the same thing. They can sense when shit gets on their fur or skin, unless their nerve endings/sensitive hairs don't catch on.
Also a dog voluntarily rolling around in something is not the same as having some substance being put on the dog without their consent. I put stuf on my body all the time; perfume, soaps, lotions, clothes. But it's a totally different scenario if say, a friend of mine tries to put a hat on my head that I don't necessarily want.

you act like a dog is a poor defenseless creature lol. if the dog obviously didn't want it to happen, it would have walked away or struggled or something.
one of my small dogs is completely fine wearing sweaters, while the other one takes em off immediately or doesn't even let you put it on.
if it's not causing the dog any physical harm, the dog is obviously going to know. if it is, it's not like the dog's gonna sit there and take it. this is their owner we're talking about.
putting a thin layer of non toxic paint isnt gonna harm the dog, nor is it going to mind because the dog is receiving attention and i'm sure it enjoyed the time it had with it's person. l

Dogs are extremely passive animals when it comes to their pack leaders. So, unless the dog did not consider themself a part of this pack (or are extremely independent), then they won't walk away. The dog wants to make their owner happy because that's what pack members do for their leaders. So for them it's kind of like a courtesy thing.
And how the fuck can you say that?
Like do you speak for dogs or something? lol You don't know this for certain. You're basically saying that everything dogs do is blatantly out of instinct; they're hard wired to do something. Since you're their 'pack leader' oh it's obvious they're not going to walk away!
No that is most certainly not true. My chihuahua mix, Ace, is probably the most submissive thing in this house. Almost regrettably submissive as he was abused prior to our adopting him, but that doesn't stop him from struggling if we put a sweater on him. Our more dominant dog, Lucas, is the one who loves to have sweaters on.
If what you're saying were true, then both of my dogs would be willingly wearing sweaters, because they don't have a choice and do it to 'please their master'. You're making it out to be like dogs show no form of happiness, and like I said in my previous post, that dog was probably going apeshit as it was getting painted because it was receiving attention.
and you're bitching about this dog, "it’s not like there’s conventions/competitions for cutting and painting your dogs fur in a huge room full of strangers that can stress the dog out w/o the benefit of affection because there’s a time limit
oh wait"

I disagree with this. That pack leader Cesar Milan talk is just nonsense. A dog wants to be your companion, yes, but they're not going to do whatever you want them to just to "make you happy as their pack leader". Do you know how many clients come into our clinic because their dogs won't even let them do simple things like bath them or brush them or clip their toenails? One lady can't even clean her dogs ears without it going beserk and trying to bite her. And they don't act up the rest of the time. I petsit a Maltipoo who is the nicest, friendliest dog ever but dear lord, try and brush the tangles out of her ears and she screams and bites and her owner can't do it for the same reason. Does that make her independent? I doubt it, since I can't sit down or walk around or do anything without the dog velcro-ing itself to me. I can't even go to the bathroom without her crying outside the door cause she can't see me.
If a dog doesn't like you doing something, they'll let you know.. REGARDLESS or whether or not you're their owner.

Sorry but that's what all these comments are. Because this dog is clearly not human, it does not matter what they think. It is irrelevant if the dog does not enjoy having random dyes (harmless or otherwise) put onto their fur. And the fact that most animals DO know when they are tampered with in some manner is being completely ignored and their "self awareness" (a human-made concept) is evaluated (and judged "less than human" (which means "who gives a fuck")...yeah, that's not right. In the least. But who cares right, they're just a DOG. Not a SENTIENT creature like a PERSON.
you're acting like the person fucked the dog.
there's really nothing bad about coloring your dog with nontoxic paints.
in fact the only thing bad about it is how incredibly stupid someone would be to do that lol (that is if they weren't professional)
obviously the dog is well cared for. you're acting like it just had it's feelings hurt. if that's the case, then we better stop dressing up our dogs in sweaters or santa hats for christmas, or having dog halloween costumes because holy shit that dog is completely and obviously offended.
hell i guarantee this dogs tail was wagging like a crazy bastard the entire time this guy was painting it, cause frankly it was receiving attention - positive attention at that.

obviously the dog is well cared for. you're acting like it just had it's feelings hurt. if that's the case, then we better stop dressing up our dogs in sweaters or santa hats for christmas, or having dog halloween costumes because holy shit that dog is completely and obviously offended.
hell i guarantee this dogs tail was wagging like a crazy bastard the entire time this guy was painting it, cause frankly it was receiving attention - positive attention at that.
Last I checked, plenty of dogs don't like going to the vet, getting baths, or having their nails trimmed, either. And actually, dogs are not self-aware. A primate (as well as elephants and dolphins) can look in the mirror and recognize itself and see if something has been painted on its forehead and will attempt to wipe it off. A dog quite literally cannot. It thinks that's another dog in the mirror. I hardly think any animal that'll scarf down its own poop knows how to feel embarrassment like we do. A dog is not going to look at its dye job and go, "OMG I can't go outside like this! I look awful!" THAT'S a human-made concept. It's not so much that people are saying that because it's an animal it doesn't matter what it thinks (obviously these people all would care if the dog was actually feeling pain or showing fear), it's that people are saying a dog does not have the capacity to really think ANYthing about this particular sort of thing. Embarrassment is purely a human emotion.
No harm is coming to the dog here. The dye washes out. Worry more about animals actually getting hurt or abused by all the dogdiddlers on here. I'll bet you're the kind of person that thinks we shouldn't put Halloween costumes on dogs, either, because it'll "embarrass them."

Self-awareness is something that humans have come up with. So of course we're going to make the levels hard for other non-humans to reach. So we say bullshit like "Well they have to recognize themselves in a mirror or else they're just animals based on instinct!" Animals are very self-aware. They know what they are feeling, they know when they are in the wrong place at the wrong time, they know when they step in muck or when someone gets stuck to their skin/fur/scales/feathers/etc. Of course a dog is not going to understand the implications of dye; just that there is something unnatural on its fur that it probably doesn't really want there. And I'm sure after failed attempts at getting it off, it'll just deal with it.
And I think we shouldn't put Halloween costumes on dogs because it's stupid and most dogs don't enjoy it. It has nothing to do with embarrassment, but this strange "obsession" we have with dressing up animals for our own pleasure. I also do go after practicing zoophiles when they admit it, but it's easier to post a picture of a dog dyed than find someone who admits to their zoophilic actions.

My main beef is many people are going "Well since the dog isn't a human, it doesn't matter what level of sentience or self-awareness it may or may not have. So let's just do whatever we want with it because it's just a dumb dog right!" No. Dogs know when you put dye in their fur. Just as much as when you try to put a hat or a shirt on them.
But a generic sense includes everyone. I wasn't saying baw, you're personally targeting me, but by saying "this is bad and always will be" you're pretty much saying "anyone who does it is bad, regardless". The point of showing my dog was just as an actual example of an animal who had been "dyed" by people with no ill effect.
Why makes MY dog different than this dog (or any other dog someone "paints")?
You have no insulting response about how terrible it is for me to do, but you do for this person. Why's that?

Hi, this is my old three legged bichon
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/5597043/
as you can see, I shaved him to have a mohawk and dyed his "hair".
Was this done for the dog's benefit? No. Absolutely not. It was because I found it amusing. It was done solely for me.
Did this make it wrong or bad? No. The dog didn't care about the dye (which was safe food dye, easily washed out later). If anything, he enjoyed having the mohawk shaved/dyed because he got a lot more attention from people. He also sat patiently and happily in front of me while I slowly dyed that little tuft of fur.
At no point did he ever seem bothered by it.
This dog was loved to pieces and spoiled absolutely rotten. I would have never done anything that I felt was actually bad for him. He also wore a shirt for a long period to cover the stitches from having his leg amputated (he was a stray we found with an injured leg that I ended up having to have amputated because the leg was too messed up to save), and he never minded the shirt either.
I don't see what the big deal is.

Why not? For the same reason you don't throw flame vinyls onto a Koenigsegg. It's a waste of time and money, and you've ruined a perfectly good Koenigsegg. Domestic animals are a lot like cars in the sense that you can make them look neat with a new paintjob and some body mods, but most of the time you just fail.
And for the record, if one of my friends tried to draw on me, I'd go to Herb David, buy an XPlorer and then smash their fucking teeth with it. Not so much because I don't like being drawn on, but mainly because all of my friends suck at drawing.

That was a pretty crap comparison considering that cars and dogs are vastly different (and you made me Google wtf a Koenigsegg is [and they're ugly cars regardless]). How is there a waste of money here? In dyes? Oh boyyy, $5 out the window. Better apply for food stamps! And it's not a waste of time if it's for fun. It wasn't about making the dog look "neat", I imagine, considering there's no precision or theme there (like in the Amaterasu dogs or the tiger/panda dogs). It was done for the same reason that I draw on my dog: funsies. And I can tell you she has no fucks to give about it.
Well the friends that can't draw and draw on you are usually the ones drawing giant awkward penises. Been there, done that. And it was funny. No harm done.

Yeah, well Weekend is a shoegazing band from San Fran. To make things easier on you, here's the B-Side I'm talking about: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/3159439/
Oh gosh these commits just crazy. If you guys are seriously crying over this, why not get mad at the people whole fully DYE there dogs?
the pink poodle is a perfect example. Or how about the white dogs in china be dyed to look like pandas? or the tiger dogs?
dying dogs fur isn't uncommon really, and using food coloring isn't gonna kill it. Just chill.

There's a big difference between people who dye their dogs/cats with food coloring and vegetable based dyes like this and asshole who spray paint dogs because they think it's funny to torture them.

Man, some of you people need to pull your heads out of your asses. There are FAR worse things that could be done to a dog. Using safe dye on it for a bit of silly fun is nowhere near that list. If you want to champion for animal rights, that's fine. I'm all for that, but put your energy into an aspect of that that would actually help an animal.
Your dog is adorable, and looks excellent in his cute groom! Nice job!
The drama entertains me. For those who think this is mean to the dog for whatever reason: assuming that she used a non-toxic dye (like one of the many colored dyes made specifically for dogs available through any grooming supply), coloring a dog is not in the least unkind to it. Dogs see in a limited, muted color spectrum compared to humans. Not only do dogs not seem to care about elaborate grooming jobs (with or without color), these colors would not appear garish to them---if they thought of color and appearance in the way humans think about it.
What this dog HAS experienced is a lot of attention from her person while she was being groomed, something most dogs adore, and she is likely to get a lot of excited attention from other people because the groom, which is again something that most dogs want. This looks like a happy, adorably groomed dog to me!
