For many dog owners, the fear of their beloved pet being stolen is a constant concern. Certain breeds, like the Great Pyreneese, are particularly vulnerable to dognapping due to their rarity and value.
One owner, Chloe, has come up with a unique solution to keep her 2-year-old Great Pyreneese, Dandy, safe from thieves. She’s dyed his fur a bright, fire-engine red, making him almost unrecognizable.
The decision has sparked a heated debate online, with some praising Chloe’s creativity and others questioning her motives. On TikTok, where Chloe shares videos of Dandy, some commenters have expressed concern for the dog’s well-being, wondering if the dye is safe for him.

However, Chloe has assured her followers that she uses only vegan, pet-safe dye, and has even shared tutorials on how to safely dye your own dog. According to Chloe, the dye job has made Dandy more approachable, and he seems to enjoy the attention he receives.

But not everyone is convinced. Some have accused Chloe of seeking attention online, and pointed out that the dye would unlikely deter would-be dognappers. Others have come to Chloe’s defense, arguing that as long as the dye is safe and humane, she has the right to dye her dog whatever color she chooses.

The debate surrounding Dandy’s bright red makeover has been ongoing, with some urging Chloe not to re-dye the dog and instead let him return to his natural color. As the discussion continues, one thing is clear: Dandy’s unique look has certainly made him stand out, and his owner’s decision has sparked an important conversation about pet safety and owner responsibility.
