- RedAuburn 2y agoAdding a quote from the article: “We are called Panda Dogs, a pet dog that looks like a panda, dyed and dressed up by Chow Chow. We are gentle, smart, friendly, cute and adorable!” the sign says. The zoo’s manager, surnamed Huang, said the dogs are one of its top attractions. “You can see by our name, we are ‘Strange Animals and Cute Pets Paradise,’” she told state-affiliated outlet Sichuan Observation. “These are Chow Chow dogs being painted (as pandas), as this is part of our specialties.”

- doodlebugging 2y agoEither I have deja vu or this is the severalth time this has happened. Maybe, like another poster (u/RedAuburn) has noted, they always identify them as painted dogs. Pretty funny either way.
