The Doggie Bjorn Keeps Your Pooch Close to Your Heart
Anonymous 123 — January 8, 2010 — Lifestyle
Ever think we just may have gone too far with our love our animals? Check out the new Doggie Bjorn for canines or a Pup-to-go sold for a whopping $125 (one size fits all). Don’t try this with your Bull Mastiff, though, yikes! Now those ladies can stroll down Park Avenue with Fifi in style without that annoying bag or leash to deal with. Can’t you just picture Paris Hilton toting Tinkerbell around in this?
I can't help but wonder, though: In our desire to liken our pets to our own children in some cases, have we not robbed them of the dignities and rights of being simply dogs with an inherent desire to walk, sniff, roam and cavort?
