A zoo in China has admitted to painting dogs to resemble pandas after visitors noticed the animals panting and barking. The incident occurred at a zoo in Shanwei, where Chow Chow dogs were painted white and black to look like baby pandas. This follows a similar incident earlier this year at Taizhou Zoo in Jiangsu province.
