Dog dishonour

by Lee on 4/3/2006

Jackets and jumpers for pampered pooches are far from uncommon in Tokyo. Elaborate canine kimonos on the other hand are rather more unconventional.

Captured post-pose, however, the poor little fella’s shame at being continually pictured and paraded is painfully clear.

Seppuku (hara-kiri) looks almost inevitable in that last photo!

Shame, indeed! Mind you, the pooch could have been dressed up like Hardcore Gay! Certainly, this little fella has come of lightly. In Vietnam, I saw a Cocker Spanial with a Gary Glitter wig upon its little head and silver platforms up its dainty paws.

I refuse to accept that is a really dog O.O It looks fake. I mean it looks like it is stuffed in the first picture.

Sorry Tom, but it’s a real dog – unusual looking perhaps, but a real one nonetheless.

A very well-grommed real dog. Look at the hair, almost doll-like

I can’t stop roaring with laughter. Does that make me a bad person.

Can anyone tell me the breed? I would be prepared to pick up poop if my dog was THAT cute.

i dont find this to be cute at all. this is a dog, not a doll. clearly the pooch is NOT enjoying this. imagine how uncomfortable this all must be for him. frankly, i find this to be ridiculous.
