Milkshake, A Rare Pink Pug, Is One Of Less Than 100 In The World
Meet Milkshake! A rare pug who is completely pink with an irresistible squishy face and lovely baby blue eyes. Milkshake is 17-months-old and has already gained a lot of attention on social media!
His Instagram account has a following of over 58k and continues to grow!
His unique coloring is caused by a lack of pigmentation inherited from an albino pug somewhere down the line of his lineage. And when his owner, Maria, first spottted the pug amongst his brothers and sisters, she just knew he was the one for her.

"They're 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."

"He’s not actually albino – he just has the colouring so he doesn’t suffer from any sight loss or hearing loss. He’s a happy healthy boy," Maria told Unilad.
