Despite her intentions, Sabrina Low’s actions were not well-received by her audience. Many expressed their disapproval through private messages, labeling her actions as harmful to the animal. In defense, Low spoke to What’sTheJam, stating, “People sent a lot of private messages saying that I was attacking the dog. But he is like my son. I would never do that. People said I’m a monster, a criminal – absurd things. I just wanted to make it fashionable.”
The influencer emphasized her love for her pet, referring to him as her partner and highlighting the regular care he receives, including proper nutrition and grooming despite the backlash of dyeing her dog pink. She also mentioned her choice of crepe paper dye as it seemed to be a gentler option for coloring her dog’s fur.
Despite her explanations and assurances, the online community’s backlash has led Sabrina Low to vow not to repeat the dyeing process. She expressed her surprise at the judgment she received, reiterating her intent was merely to have fun and not to harm her pet in any way.
