Tattoo artist "inks" his dog

[Catherine]

I must say he was a beautiful dog before he was tattooed. I don't know what the guy was thinking. It wouldn't have been a comfortable procedure for the dog and it looks very odd.

It is a bit of an act of cruelty certainly, but is more an act of stupidity. It has no positive benefits for the dog. The dog didn't ask for the tattoos. The tattoos don't look that good on the dog.  I can't see that it is right to tattoo an animal like that.
I wonder if the dog is aware of how it looks.
