hmm, something isn't right here. this dog appears to have been.. dyed!?
explain how they ended up like this, and how they manage to get the dye out of their fur, in 300 words or less!
(their real colouration will be a mystery until someone wins them, but you can get a hint by the colour of the fur around their muzzle, eyes and paws!)

hound name: Chandu (means an octopus in Swahili
coloration: ???
sex: male
age: 3.5 years old
collar color: blueberry blue
prompt:
Chandu's favorite thing to have as a treat are blueberries and loves when it gives him a bit of a purplish-bluish mustache. So one day he got the genius idea to roll around in a bunch of blueberries while no one else was looking. While it gave the other dogs and him a good laugh the owner and worker were not happy. This crazy pup had gotten into the fridge after all and dumped a whole jar of fresh blueberries on the ground. Then he didn't even eat it he just rolled around in them creating a mess not only on himself but the floor as well. What didn't help was that other dogs had started to walk through it leaving paw prints everywhere. They began scrubbing the floor like mad people but they kept on finding more of the sticky mess everywhere. While they were doing that the owner was simply trying to get him into the tub without getting it all over herself. Sadly it was only inevitable that she got it on her clothes and herself. Though her main focus was getting it off of Chandu first. It took a while though it seems to have gotten into every nook and cranny on the dog. Luckily with all the shampoo and conditioner they eventually got all of the mess off of him. (225/300 words)

prompt:

"Hey, Bambi! What happened to you?" Bambi's handler, Dayo laughs, taking in the sight of a few kids and her hound pup covered in paint.

The visitor's children start giggling-- and another blue handprint ends up on Bambi's rump. The hound is wiggling, turning and prancing around the art sheet underneath the craft table. These preschoolers just came back in from a 'safari' tour of the reserve's zebra sanctuary. Since it is close to the holidays, their crafting activity this month is painting laser cut wood ornaments in the different silhouettes of the reserve's animals. It seems having a real hound nearby was too much of a temptation compared to an ornament hound.

"Bambi started it!" One of them cries, pushing away the hound's nose. But not soon enough to avoid getting a smear of blue across her cheek.

"Bambi, are you being a bad host?" Dayo mock-exclaims, crossing her arms with a wide smile. The hound pup play-bows in response, drawing out more laughter from the young crowd. "Did you make all these kids so dirty, eh?"

"Bambi, stay! Paw, please!" A kid bends down with a hound ornament in hand. Bambi picks up her paw-- and one of the few areas that weren't covered in blue succumb to paint the kid puts some on her paw to stamp her pawprint on his ornament. Dayo's patience with kids is limitless. So it Bambi's, apparently.

It's too funny a scene to do anything but laugh. Eight kids and a hound covered in paint.

"Bambi will need a bath out back afterward... and maybe a few kids, too!"

The kids shriek, falling over in their laughter. They were provided art smocks to keep the paint off their clothes. Bambi's fur was not so lucky. Not that the pup seems to mind!

“I didn’t always look like a giant blueberry, I actually try really hard to keep my fur clean.

It was an ordinary day until I went to the groomers. That was the first mistake that was made. They started with a simple trim, next thing I know they brought me to the tub and pulled out this blue smelly shampoo. Blue was my favourite colour so I was fascinated. I watched as the groomers gently rubbed the soap into my fur. It smelled like rotten eggs. I almost threw up.

Warm water ran through my fur. As the blue soap washed away I noticed that my fur was still blue. I thought it was just left over soap but when the human started drying me off, my beautiful fur was still blue! They dyed my fur. My beautiful colour was gone. My heart fell to my stomach.

Why would my human do this? Was it a mistake? I overheard the workers talking and turns out that it was a huge mistake. They accidentally used fur dye and not shampoo. I saw my human walk through the door and his face was exactly how I felt.

After he had a talk with the workers he took me home. It didn’t take me long till I had all the dye out. I live on a ranch so there is a lot of mud and I love mud. 3 hours of rolling around in mud, splashing in water, and rolling in leaves, the dye was out! I returned to my beautiful, elegant self.

coloration: ???
sex: male
age: 6
collar color: dark tan, with brown buckles
prompt:
When Cimarron woke up, he didn’t expect to be alone, let alone bright blue. He was groggy – and when he looked around, in the middle of some forest. Left in the middle of nowhere with nothing but ground beneath his paws, he looked around. The trees towered over him, the ground was muddy and sticky. When he lifted a paw up, the earth seemed to stick to him. Confused thoughts swirled in his mind – how did he get here, where was he? Before he could move around to access himself, dark howls surrounded him. He suddenly remembered what had happened – the large people, the painful paint that was poured into his coat, the wolves that were sent after him. Cimarron sprang alive, his heart beating faster than it had before, and ran towards what he was hoping was the edge of the woods. He was running blindly, slipping against the ground, but he thought that was better that laying there for dead. He stopped, panting for breath, when he saw a mud puddle. The howls sounded again – closer than before. Without a second thought, he bolted. Slipping into the dark mud was almost as relieving than swimming in a large river. He was no longer blue and that gave him a chance at survival. No longer did he hear howls, but he heard growls. He peeked out from the ditch that he had dug himself in and met a wolf eye to eye. They stared at each other, before Cimarron decided to stand his ground. He let out a thunderous growl and glared right at the monster. The wolf growled as well, but took a step back. Seeing the hesitation in the larger beast, Cimarron took off. He was no longer bright blue, and he was free from his past.

hound name: Splatter

coloration: ???
sex: Male
age: 2
collar color: Same Blue as Dye

prompt: [ 300/300 ]
It's hard to explain what exactly happened to Splatter, mostly because it's not exactly the best thing to talk about. Sometimes kids just don't understand what these kind of things do to dogs sometimes, but it's not their fault most of the time. Splatter just happened to be hanging out with the wrong type of kiddos. They thought that coloring the hound blue would be funny, and make him look like the character from one of their books, and though the resemblance was uncanny- we're sure that the character in the book could move properly. The dye was certainly causing health problems, making the poor thing's limbs a bit stiffer than before, causing sleep to be difficult, and some other affects due to inhaling some of the spray-paint applied dye. He was brought to Soundless Shelter after being found curled up outside a small house.

The dye was troublesome to get out, but Splatter didn't do it on his own. The caretakers at the Soundless Shelter would give him baths twice a day, and he would sit in a small bath in order for more water and cleaning supplies to work. The spray dye was surprisingly thick, and it took at least a good week for the dye to even begin to fade away. He even had to wear a cone for a small while because he would try to lick at the dye- which of course was a bad idea and would possibly poison the poor thing. It took almost a whole month before the dye almost fully faded away- with the exceptions of the tips of his ears- but with another quick bath those faded away as well.

He still needs slight recovery training due to how the dye affected him, but at least they were getting somewhere.

hound name: Azazel
coloration: ???
sex: Male
age: 5 years
collar color: similar to this
prompt:

It all started when Azazel heard a rucckus coming from the cow barn on his night shift. He figured that an animal like a fox or a coyote was trying to pick at the cows, so Azazel rushed over to the barn. However, upon entering the barn to check everything out, he saw nothing. Not a single unusual thing. Well, until he heard the pitter-patter of paws above him. Eyes narrowing as he looked up, his eyes fixated on the gaze of two raccoons. He barked, trying to scare off the two unwanted guests, but instead of scaring them, he made them scatter.

Azazel chased them up till he got to the ladder, which led to the upstairs of the barn where all the hay bales were stored until needed. It was currently undergoing a paint job. The inside was blue, and they started upstairs. This is where things got unlucky for Azazel... The raccoons reavealed themselves again, but this time, they were dragging something along with them. It was a bucket. Azazel gave another bark at the raccoons at another attempt to shoo them out of the barn. But after his bark, the bucket was pushed over by the two raccoons and it spilled all over him. The Senegal Hound stood there in shock for a moment, then ran out of the barn yelping and cold because of the wet paint mixed with the nights cool winter breeze.

How did Azazel get all of the blue out of his fur you may ask? Well, he didn't. At least for a good while. Several long baths later over several days, the blue eventually came out. And so did Azazel's newfound hatred for raccoons...

hound name: G&S Art School Wannabe "Neveah"
coloration: ???
sex: female
age: 3 years
collar color: Silvery blue/grey with pale gold buckle
prompt: Neveah has always been a very easy going pup. When her handler's first son was born, she was content to let him do whatever he pleased with her fur, which unfortunately lead to many colorful messes. While it was usually just crude drawing in her fur with washable marker, there was one indecent in particular that had a more lasting effect. After watching his mother dye her own hair blue, he decided to try it out himself. Neveah seemed like a perfect subject to test his skills on. Not only did he stain his hands, arms, and face dark blue, but dyed the entirety of Neveah's fur as well! He received the scolding of a lifetime from his mother as she frantically tried to wash the dye out of her dog's fur. Thankfully the dye was temporary, but it still took a few good washes to get out completely. Neveah never seemed to mind, she loved baths anyways.
