Columbo – a rare breed? – Case Study #52
Posted by DNA Guru in 
Columbo, the Panda dog
A dog named ‘Columbo’, a mixed-breed dyed to look like a panda, shown here in Tokyo where he lives. His owner dyed the originally white coloured dog, with a special hair dye to cover up stains around its eyes which was conspicuous when he was first found abandoned. As a result, the panda look-alike became the most popular dog in the neighbourhood and the owner said he hopes Columbo’s popularity will help rescue other abandoned dogs like Columbo, where in Tokyo last year, 700 of them were put to sleep.
