I know it must be a crime to dress them in plaid when, say, seersucker is in.

To some people a dog is just another ‘accessory’, like a handbag or a scarf. They don’t really care if the dog is comfortable or not.

Talk about ridiculous! Running around and chasing things is a normal expression for dogs. So is it against the law to chain them up or fence them in? Why not?

Nah - I’m betting that The One’s daughters will dress up the First Pooch. If anything, he’ll probably mandate that ALL dogs must be dressed -

Of course most people who dress their dogs do it for warmth.

Normal? The RSPCA is being dreadfully unprogressive.

And to keep them dry. It’s a pain to have to drag out the hair dryer every time it rains. Not good on the dog’s coat.

The dog on 'The Left' must have voted for Obama.

“Has anybody seen
A dog dyed dark green,
’Bout two inches tall,
With a strawberry-blonde paw,
Sunglasses and a bonnet,
And designer jeans with appliqués on it?”
