I have to come out of lurkdom and leave a comment for all who claim this is animal abuse.

My guess is that the pup is one of those dogs who are “dead to the world” when sleeping and thus can be put in any position you want (surely I’m not the only one who’s known such a pooch). The dog was most likely taken out of the straps as soon as the picture had been snapped.

Are you all people completely out of your minds?

You all look at the picture of this poor puppy that is STRAPPED into a chair and looks very UNCOMFORTABLE and you all go “Awww this is so cute!”

Since when animal abuse is CUTE?

And when a couple of sane people here comment that this does look very uncomfortable for this dog to be kept in this position for a longer period of time AND even might even be slight animal abuse – you ATTACK those people?

I am in loss of words.

This puppy is hurting.

The strapping is uncomfortable.

This is animal abuse.

Laugh and complain all you can – this is animal abuse.

thats really really bad for the dog’s spine.

I’m starting an experiment. I’m going to keep track of each post for one week and how many “animal abuse” comments there are. Then, with that information, I will…I will…

Nevermind. Cute puppy, not abuse.

Barb — until next time, then. [salutes]

That is so deadly, I just died from cute for the last time. *ka-thonks on floor*

Looks like a little baby Wookiee, napping while dad drives the fam out to their ski vacation on Hoth.

it’s definitely an integrated infant restraint system, just not as carefully molded as an add-on infant seat

also doubles as a pizza rack, picnic table, or booster seat for the shorties

i’m curious what sort of seat is that, looks like it folds out from a car but is not a carseat you put in like for a child.. strange

This looks sooo uncomfortable! You mean there wasn’t a seatbelt where he could sit naturally?
