Photographs of a stray pack of bright blue dogs on a snowy road in Russia have been circulating online.
The photos of the dogs seem to show the pack all with varying degrees of the cobalt tinge to their coats.
The pictures were taken in the city of Dzerzhinsk, 230 miles east of Moscow and posted to the Russian social media site vk.com, according to The Moscow Times.
... The factory produced plexiglass and hydrocyanic acid but closed six years ago after going bankrupt.
Hydrocynanic acid, a suspension of hydrogen cyanide in water, was originally isolated from the pigment Prussian blue, and takes its name from cyan, the ancient Greek word for blue.
It is described as poisonous by the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention, which lists one of its uses as a commercial dye, as well as a chemical warfare agent.
