Husband Reacts To His Great Dane’s Colorful Coat
This husband got the surprise of his life when he saw how his wife had “dressed up” their Great Dane, Tuck, for a Christmas celebration. Unbeknownst to him, his wife had Tuck painted with pet-friendly fur dyes.
Tuck’s mom wrote, “I had our Great Dane puppy colored for the Christmas parade and didn’t tell my husband I was doing it. This video is literally the moment he saw him for the 1st time.”
The moment her husband sees Tuck, he exclaims, “What did you do to my dawwwg! Tuck Tuck, what did they do to my baby?” He crouches down so Tuck can run over for a hug. The poor man appears torn between frustration and confusion as he shakes his head at his wife, saying “no.”
Viewers loved how concerned Tuck’s dad was. One viewer wrote, “I lost it at ‘Tuck, Tuck! What did they do to my baby?’ This poor man is so soft for his boy.”
Another noted, “”Noooooo tuckyyy” the pain in his voice is so real I feel him lol.”
“The dog sat down in front of him like… ‘Yeah, they got me, Dad, they got me.’ So cute,” another viewer observed.
One person sympathized with Tuck’s dad, noting Tuck “looks like he jumped into a pile of melted Skittles.” Another added, “My husband would not have been that calm, and his language would have been waaaay more colorful.”
We’re sure all’s well that ends well, as these temporary dyes wash out of fur relatively easily. Overall, pet groomers generally regard pet-friendly dyes as safe if handled properly. However, there are several important cautions when using dyes on pets. Be absolutely sure that the dye is pet-safe.
When used correctly and sparingly, pet-safe dyes are generally safe, but it’s crucial to choose products specifically formulated for pets and to avoid human hair dyes, which are toxic to animals. Also, avoid fur lighteners – these are different products from pet coloring dyes as they “bleach” fur and come with additional risks.
Even with pet-safe dyes, there’s still a risk of allergic reactions, skin irritation, or even burns so it’s important to avoid dyeing if your dog has any skin issues or sensitivities. Additionally, never use wraps or apply heat during the process, and carefully monitor your dog’s reaction. If they scratch or show signs of discomfort, stop immediately and rinse off the dye.
Always follow the product’s instructions and read the caution label beforehand. Finally, avoid dyeing fur near the mouth and eyes. For those seeking natural alternatives, vegetable juices like carrot (for reddish-orange) and beet juice (for pink) can provide a safer option.
