Chinese cafe featuring dogs dyed to look like pandas facing backlash

'I suggest dyeing cafe owner black and white,' says one critic over stunt in Chengdu

A cafe in China featuring chow chow dogs painted as panda cubs has prompted widespread criticism over the treatment of the pets.

The Cute Pet Games cafe opened last month in Chengdu in the south-west Sichuan province, home to a large proportion of the endangered bear species, featuring six fluffy chow chows dyed white and black.
