Pink Pug Named Milkshake Is Rare, Being One in Less Than a Hundred That Exist

Pink pugs are so rare that most dog lovers have never seen one in person, and Milkshake is one of the few that turned heads the moment he arrived. With his blush-colored coat and bright blue eyes, the London pup stood out long before his personality and online fame came into play.

His owner, Maria, chose him as a puppy and quickly learned she had brought home something extraordinary. Milkshake’s unusual coloring comes from a lack of pigmentation, and he is now one of fewer than 100 pink pugs believed to exist worldwide.

That rarity, plus his adorable looks, helped turn him into a social media favorite with thousands of followers. Read on.

Maria first spotted Milkshake at the breeder and knew right away that he was the one.

Milkshake's loving owner has described him as happy-go-lucky, quirky, and oh-so-friendly. She added that he's also 'very spoiled' as he enjoys weekly visits to the dog spa. There, he receives pedicures just before getting all dressed up in dog-gone adorable outfits for photo shoots. Then, Maria gives him chicken as a reward.

Maria also brings Milkshake along to her work meetings as well.

Not only that, but Milkshake also participates in national dog shows and even has his own personal trainer, who is working with him so that he can eventually feature in films and advertisements in the near future.

Well, hot diggity dog!

Maria even went on to admit that some of Milkshake's Instagram followers have gotten 'star-struck' when they meet him in real life, and they boast about how truly adorable he is!

She's right, he's too cute!
