Alessandra Ambrosio slammed by PETA for dyeing pet dog pink

New York, July 7 (ANI): Alessandra Ambrosio drew the wrong kind of attention when she took her dip-dyed pink and purple pooch for a walk in Malibu on Thursday.

The 31-year-old supermodel came under fire from animal rights group after photographers snapped photos of Ambrosio carrying her fashion-forward dog to a lunch date with long-time fiance Jamie Mazur.

"What most people don't know is that dyeing a companion animal's fur can cause the animal stress and can lead to complications or allergic reactions that endanger the animal's health," the New York Daily News quoted PETA as saying in a statement.

"Our dogs and cats love us regardless of how we look; why not extend the same kindness to them?" the statement read.

In a similar incident earlier this year actress Emma Watson had been spotted out with another pup dyed pink as part of an effort to raise money for breast cancer. (ANI)
