Three fluffy animals in Singapore are causing quite a stir because of their unusual appearance. While they may look like panda bears at first glance, these three are actually chow chows.
That’s right, these three pooches — Tudou (male), Yumi (female), and DouDou (female) — belong to Meng Jiang and her husband Anton Kreil, a professional trader. The couple has purposely dyed their dogs’ fur to make them resemble the easily recognizable animal native to south central China. And they are certainly turning heads when they walk down the street (much like the man in Tokyo who has been spotted walking around town with his giant tortoise).
Jiang is even helping her chow chows become local celebrities. She started a photo business allowing strangers to come to her studio to take pictures with her little panda chow chows.
But, some people aren’t too happy with Jiang’s decision. A petition was launched on Change.org against Jiang for dyeing the fur of her chow chows. The petition, which has more than 3,000 signatures, argues that there’s no proof that animal dye is safe despite being legal. It also deems Jiang’s business dog “exploitation.”
However, Jiang insists she’s not putting her pooches in harm’s way and takes good care of her little ones.
“My pets are my babies and I make sure to keep them comfortable. They go for grooming every 10 days where they get proper wash and hair trimming. They also get eye check-ups, nails trimmed, ears and teeth cleaning,” she told the DailyMail.

“While people enjoy watching them walking on the streets, some have come to me asking if the [color] around their eyes and ears are safe,” Jiang said. “I want to tell everyone that the dye used is professional dog hair dye and is 100% organic, non-toxic and safe for dogs.”
And her three dogs apparently love every ounce of their newfound fame. (There must be tons of it since these dogs seriously do look like panda bears!)
“It is amazing to see our pups becoming popular. They really are show stoppers on the road and attract big crowds of people everywhere they go. I must tell you the babies absolutely enjoy the attention,” she said.
As for the photo shoots with strangers, Jiang said she simply wants others to get those “magical, exciting moments” with the chow chows.
