Sose said: "I got scammed by the breeder and found out my dog was dyed. He wasn't always a crusty white dog."
Whatever the dog's natural colour, he remains a very good boy.

Terese said: "By definition, there's no such thing as a purebred goldendoodle."
Maria said: "He looked like fried chicken when he was brown."
