Blue dogs found roaming in Russia

[Mike Wehner]

• Stray dogs in one area of Russia are turning blue, and locals were stunned to see the colorful animals roaming the countryside.
• The animals had reportedly been hanging around an abandoned factory that used a variety of toxic chemicals, and it's those chemicals that have been blamed for the color change.
• The animals were rounded up and caught, then taken to a veterinarian to see if the chemicals had affected them in other ways.

No matter what country you live in, you've probably seen stray dogs from time to time. Domesticated animals that are let loose often rely on their instincts in order to survive, and in the case of dogs that means banding together in a pack. Russia has a lot of stray dogs, but none are quite like the pooches found near the city of Dzerzhinsk. A pack of stray dogs near the city caught the eyes of locals for one very specific reason: they are blue.

Yes, blue dogs. Now, blue is a color that is usually reserved for certain species of fish, certain reptiles, and birds. It's not a color that you often see on a mammal, so it was abundantly clear that there was something amiss with these canines. It seems they had been spending a lot of time near an abandoned factory, and the chemicals used at that factory have been cited as the cause of the dogs' bizarre color change.
