Odd News

My neighbor used to have a tiny little dog. And she used to dress up that poor dog in really strange clothes as she thought her little pal looked cute. She wanted to be different and all those dog outfits were just results of her effort to be considered stylish and modern. Dog & she called him Little Peter - never expressed his opinion or feelings, he was just awkwardly jigging and following his owner, apparently trying no to lose the last bites of his dog self-esteem in loud pink dog jacket and moving as fast as it was possible in that uncomfortable suit. Maybe that's why the thing of dressing little dog pet into human clothes always seemed strange to me. I was confident about the fact that dogs were made to be dogs, that they had fur for some good reason and as we & humans & don't have any, we have to protect ourselves by putting on the clothes. But have you ever seen any dog looking into your eyes with begging stare that was clearly saying something like "please, I have to have that shoes, please, can I have them?"Actually, I just realized that dressing the dogs up isn't only the case of lonely older ladies or fashion victims, this trend has also hit the German police. They decided that their dogs need shoes! So the police dogs in Dusseldorf are going to get brand new shoes in police colors (available in three different sizes). But the Germans have good reason for this & they want to protect their dogs from injuring their pads as they sometimes have to walk on broken glass and they got hurt often. Well, this seems to be a good idea. Hopefully, they're not gonna get the whole police uniform anytime soon.
