Put The Dog Down.....Literally!

There seems to be a growing trend towards treating petite pooches like fashion accessories, rather than like dogs. This fad has been famously fueled by Hollywood celebrities and socialites, who endlessly pose for the paparazzi, clasping their tiny designer dogs inside Coach clutches and Hermes' handbags.

Come on! Chihuahuas, Bichon Frises, and other small breed dogs have the same DNA as German Shepherds and English Mastiffs, and should be treated with the same respect for their physical needs. All animals need exercise, personal space, and a purpose in life in order to be healthy and happy. In a nutshell, dogs should be dogs, not fashion accessories. So put down your dogs, pick up your leashes, and do something good for both of you - let your pet walk, trot, sniff, and roll. In other words, let them enjoy the world from their own perspective - not yours.
