'Animal abuse': Debate erupts over video of pink dyed German Shepherd – as service dog handlers …

A video of a pink dyed German Shepherd has sparked an online firestorm, with some outraged social media users accusing service dog owners of "animal abuse" – while others hit back at "childish" critics.

A video posted to Instagram by a service dog handler has ignited online controversy, with some calling it "animal abuse" and others describing the video as "cute".

The Instagram account @lowquality.shepherds last month posted a video of a German Shepherd with pink dye applied to its head and the underside of its tail, along with the text "service dog handlers dyeing their dogs is not about you".

The dog did not appear to be distressed in the footage, and nuzzled the human hand extended towards it, before reaching out a paw to "shake".

In a fiery video caption, the account's owner wrote, "If a service dog handler dyes their dog, it’s not because they’re out here begging for attention. It’s not because they 'want people to look at them' or because they’re 'ruining the dignity of a working dog.' It’s none of your business. Period.
