A pet owner has hit back at cruel trolls who've accused her of animal abuse over the fact she's chosen to dye her pet dog's fur red.
TikToker Chloe regularly takes to the app to share clips of her Great Pyrenees Dandy using her handle @danthebigreddog, not to be confused with Clifford.
But despite Dandy looking like an incredibly happy pooch in all the videos, Chloe has been forced to defend herself after trolls likened the red animal dye to animal abuse.
In a recent clip, however, Chloe has hit back at the mean comments by explaining exactly why she has chosen to dye her beloved pet's fur such a vibrant colour.

"He looks so adorable in red," she listed as the first reason, before adding the second reason: "To keep him from getting stolen. He's a rare breed in my area."
She went on to say that Dandy really enjoys the process of having his fur done" and the vegan products used "make his fur shiny and soft."
Chloe added: "Dan loves people and kids but he’s 130lbs so people would get scared of him. Now people don’t get scared of him! They only smile and ask to give him attention. He loves that."
In a follow up clip, Chloe dueted with another TikTok user who decided to eat some dog fur dye to prove there's absolutely no harmful substances in it.
