If someone were suddenly campaigning to ban tiny dog coats out of pure spite, that would be one thing, but honestly, everyone finds something irritating or eye-catching at some point, even if they can't quite put their finger on why.
Perhaps Charles Roberts33 isn't quite fully informed, given his claim that people dress up dogs just to be malicious, which is actually quite rare. When it does happen, well, it bothers me too, because it feels like mistreating an animal (which, by and large, doesn't enjoy having things forced onto its body).
I suspect my own grandparents might have been a bit shocked at first if they had seen these tiny dogs dressed in little coats, though I wonder if they ever actually saw the modern breeds that live exclusively in apartments. Still, I am fairly certain they would have come around eventually, considering how much care they took to ensure their own pets stayed as warm as possible.
Look, I get it. I’m really not looking to be the guy making a scene or acting like some kind of martyr over this. No need to worry...
I have two dogs, and honestly, I haven't trained a single one of them in my entire life...
No, like you said yourself, there are certain breeds of dogs that simply aren't built to handle these kinds of temperatures...
Shaved by force and completely hairless...
Having a negative opinion about something is one thing, but judging people who actually go out and do it is an entirely different matter altogether...
I have never once understood the compulsion to judge something that doesn't directly affect me or pose any kind of threat to my own life...
Man, those coats aren't exactly cheap, trust me...
I'm just sitting here, keeping a close eye on the prices... $100 Jackets...
