Recently, a few clients and friends have asked me about the pictures of dogs in pantyhose coming from China. Now - I know people find it unsettling, it does look rather strange. But I would caution you before judging these images: for one, the dogs aren't struggling. There's no sign these animals were ambushed, and shoved into ladies undergarments. In fact, it appears that these are dogs whose owners have put them into something silly to wear, for the purposes of taking a photo. Now, I don't know about you, but it seems pretty... American of them to do so. Do be careful, however, if you dress up your dog, to give them plenty of praise, and treats afterwards!
