When I said I didn't agree with it I should have explained-the issue I have isn't with someone carrying a dog, bag or no bag, for whatever reason-as long as the dog is happy with it. I have a friend who has a Pomeranian, a tiny little ball of fur that's on a lap or being carried more than she's on the floor it seems, she's so small.
What worries me more than the little practicalities that I've discussed about, is that people are buying dogs ESPECIALLY for this reason. Using an animal as a fashion accessory. Fashion trends last a season, and then they're no longer acceptable to those who follow them. I don't know how long a season is, but It's certainly a lot shorter than the length of time a dog lives.
I am betting there's to be a lot of these dogs in rescue centres, or worse-or even if they're still with their 'owner' they'll be neglected once the owner's got fed up of carrying them about. I'm not saying all people who favour bag-dogs will be like this, but a lot of them I suspect.
