The dogs’ owner Christine Amurao was rather shocked when she woke up last Monday to discover that her whole bedroom had been turned reddish-pink with a substance she initially suspected might have been blood.

Fortunately, the reality was something much less serious as her three dogs, Toffee, Sparkle and Sushi had actually gotten into her makeup room. When Amurao found the naughty trio they had been munching away on a pack of colourant powder which she often used to add a little pigment to her lip tints and scrubs.
That explains why the three dogshad managed to turn themselves completely pink! Christine stated:
They reached for the plastic and chewed it off until it was broken. They were already pink when I saw them.
Christine also mentioned that the colourant was formed from natural ingredients and would not have harmed the dogs in any way. And, she confessed that the dogs are still pink despite her best efforts to clean them but the colour will slowly fade away.
This is not the first time a dog has given their owner a fright, earlier this year one cheeky corgi managed to get himself into a jar of jam leading his owners to believe had passed away on the kitchen floor.
Dogs are so mischievous!
