TWO DAYS AGO, a Twitter user named Adam posted the following photo of dog shampoo purchased in Tesco alongside of a rose-tinted dog.

He asked, “Yes why on earth has your shampoo turned my dog pink?”

Whoops!

We couldn't find this Tweet

The complaint has since garnered almost 38,000 retweets.

Now this is blatantly a prank, but unfortunately Tesco didn’t cop that and replied with an earnest offer to help.

@Adamstone341 That's most concerning Adam, if you can return the product to store with your receipt we'll investigate. Thanks, Dan.

Since then, Tesco have confirmed that they know it’s a prank and responded with this good-natured statement.

This is certainly a hair-raising hoax. Tesco pet care sensitive dog shampoo is a great product and we can guarantee it’ll leave your pooch looking pretty but definitely not in pink.

Fool me once, etc.

Ryanair’s Twitter account just fell for the oldest Ryanair joke in the book >

Tesco just pulled off this heart-melting stunt in Ballincollig >
