Never Dress Your Dog In Clothes

[RSS FEED]

It's Pet Week on the Woot blog! And what better way could there be to kick it off than with this video? (Don't answer that, actually.)

We're busting fresh and funky rhymes about life on the streets -- specifically about the high social price dogs pay when their people make them wear little jackets, or boots, or Halloween costumes.
This is on the REAL tip. Dogs were meant to rock the all-over fur look, y'all. Putting them in anything else is just an exercise in humiliation.
Now, we're not talking about sled dogs wearing boots on the trail, or police dogs wearing Kevlar on the job, or retrievers wearing PFDs on the hunt. We're talking about those dressed-up pugs you see in city parks whose owners probably should have gotten Cabbage Patch Kids instead.
A couple of the stills in this video came from the Eco-Pup photo stream on Flickr, and are used in accordance with their Creative Commons licenses. Eco-Pup is a Vancouver-based company that makes "luxury organic and Eco-friendly clothing and accessories for your pets," and we're sure they're really nice people, even if our resident MC Saint Bernard apparently wants to start a serious beef with them.
What do you expect, though? He's a dog; he always wants beef.
