That was pretty funny. I was braced expecting some photo of a truly abused animal.
Personally I think dressing dogs like that every now and then is harmless. If the dog is not happy about it, he's not going to sit still and keep the stuff on.
It's really not much different then dressing them in sweaters and booties when it's cold out.
Ok...if that is creul. Was it creul for me to buy the mickey costume from the catalog for my pug and dress him up for halloween like I was?? I work in a nursing home and he comes in with me...we were dressed up like a cat (myself) and he was "the mouse"
Hmmm and we thought we were bad dressing our weiner like a weiner. Oh and rubbing balloons on our Yorkie (static electricity ya know....they stick LOL).
Considering they are Boston Terriers, I really don't think they mind showing their Irish pride! Our Rat Terrier, Dublin, had her "Kiss Me I'm Irish" shirt on for our parade yesterday!
