Everyone, meet 'Milkshake' – one of less than 100 pink pugs in the world

Meet Milkshake.

He’s a rare pink pug that’s making waves across Instagram. At just about a year and a half, this unique puppy dazzles the eyes and the hearts of everyone that comes across him. And what makes him so special? He is one of less than one hundred pink pugs in the world! His rarity is sensational, and his pink fur and blue eyes are sure to melt you too.

1) Baby blue and pink

Milkshake’s striking appearance is actually caused by a lack of pigmentation. He most likely inherited this from an albino pug somewhere in his family tree.

2) Irresistible

When Milkshake’s owner, 33-year-old Maria, first saw him in his litter, she knew that he was the one. She brought him home at just ten weeks old to live with her in London.

3) Adventure-time

Maria revealed in a statement that “[he’s] very rare. At the time, I think Milkshake was one of 30 in the world but there have been a few litters. There’s no more than 100 worldwide.”

6) Healthy and Happy

His owner also said of his unique coloring that “he’s not actually albino – he just has the coloring so he doesn’t suffer from any sight loss or hearing loss. He’s a happy healthy boy.”

7) Pampered pooch
