    I'm sure we've all seen women who carry around their tiny dogs in purses or small bags, as though they're an accessory. Check out this guy, taking it to a whole new level, though:

    It's not such a bad idea actually especially when it's not convenient to leave the little doggie at home alone. I would say that's better than letting it run along the ground on its own because of its small size.

    Ha ha, I guess there is no harm as long as the dog feels comfortable. However it's just as easy walking your dog. I imagine carrying a dog around like that would be a little heavy. Perhaps it serves two functions the first to transport your dog and the second to get in some weight training and exercise. :p

    It looks like a baby doggie with papa! :p
    Yes, as long as the dog is comfortable on it or on how it is being "worn", I think that would be just fine and fun as well.

    I am very sure he does. I have taken my dogs to the vet many times and just because I have a dog with me, it was so easy to start a conversation with a stranger woman who also likes dogs. So I am very sure he is not short of female companionship.

    That little outfit looks convenient for both. That said, I'm pretty sure the little doggie has ought to feel sore after being held that way for a long time.

    He definitely gets a bunch of attention. It would be all the attention he'd get for having a dog....combined with all the attention of having a baby, too. Chicks dig both, lol.

    The former hasn't helped me at all. Nope, still haven't gone out on a single date in my life.

    DCD is a pathetic excuse for a human being.

    But at least I have my sweetie <3.

    Oh, that's sad. I have taken my dogs to the vet. Big ones and small ones. And they, my dogs, have never failed to get me a talking chance with the ladies who go to the vet. Maybe you should consider making a kangaroo pouch bag.

    Well, once, when I went to the vet, I was stopped by an Argentinian couple. That's it.

    ...Maybe I REALLY should make a carry bag...but Milla is probably a lot heavier than the dog in that picture...hmm...

    How about this one then? Doesn't look like a purse at all. Kind of makes you look like a member of the K-9 Special Forces.

    That's definitely a manlier variety.

    The dog's head looks like it's bigger than a dog that would fit in a bag that size, though.

    I like that backpack.That said, I just realized Milla is about 23 pounds now. Then again, my yback muscles are pretty well-developed from carrying a lot of heavy books in my backpack.

    If you don't like carrying Milla in a backpack, you can try this instead.

    I'm gonna be like that one guy who's like the world champion of arm wrestling....one arm bizarrely and grossly huge compared to the other one.

    Let's do it.

    Ew. That doesn't even look comfortable for the dog. :S I would expect it to be more comfortable if its feet were supported in some way. Then again, I suppose that means his owner can set him down, let him run around, and pick him right back up without having to remove the carrier at all, huh?

    Yeah, now that I think about it, it looks uncomftable for the canine. Next option? Backpack is leading so far.
