The only time I've seen one that made sense was for a Frenchie that was paralyzed in the hind quarters.

Life is simpler when you plow around the stump.

Dogs have feet. They can walk. Most of them ENJOY walking.

The ONLY time they make any sense at all is for a disabled, elderly or ill dog who may not be able to walk at that time. But most of them are just for little froo froo dogs who are used to having everything done for them and their little feet never touching the ground.

I agree with you. Only needed for the disabled, elderly or ill dog.

I can't believe that people carry the widdle baby comparison to such outrageous lengths with the miniature size dogs. *Strollers?!* Good grief! Just like with the ridiculous clothes. Reminds me of being little kids playing with dolls. Except these are LIVING CREATURES being spoiled and preverted. (eye roll) Heck, some folks do this with their human kids, creating out of control spoiled BRATS!

These are DOGS! Let them BE dogs!

I think they're absolutely ridiculous unless there is some medical reason that the dog can't walk.  Dogs need exercise as much as people do so why are we turning them into couch potatos?
