Aubrey O'Day defends dyeing dog's hair

Aubrey O'Day has reportedly defended her tendency to dye her dog's hair a variety of bright colours.

Speaking to Us Weekly, the former Danity Kane singer claimed that her 1-year-old teacup Maltese Ginger "likes to have looks".

"It actually seems like such a taboo weird thing nowadays, but if you research online, you will see a whole underworld of dogs who are dyed," she explained.

"I do it like anyone would colour hair. She sits on my lap, and I have a brush, and I paint it on and use foils."

The 25-year-old went on to say that she usually coloured Ginger's hair while the dog was sleeping and insisted that all dyes she used were approved by her vet.

"She loves attention and because she's coloured and has different outfits, she gets so much of it," she added. "She prefers it."

O'Day is apparently working on her own range of natural dog dye.
