Nothing new.
Made me laugh the other day, some gyal got off the bus with her mobile phone dog, a small weak looking thing all dressed up. It looked like it was meant to be in someones pocket but she put it down on the floor and held the leash... the first thing this dressed up (literally) thing did was eat a peice of old chewing gum off the pavement and lick a puddle.
.lol.
The sight of this well fluffed probably manicured dog with ear thingys and a kind of coat all matching the girls clothes eating a peice of chewing gum ''fresh'' off the floor really showed how ridiculous and how lost some people are. Definately agree they've become fasion accessories even with the wannabe hard weed dealers, thing is if you left a dog know you're not afraid of it they won't go near you and if they do kick it and get on top of it then go for the eyes... or just spray the thing with some pepper spray, messes them right up that one... good to cover your tracks with if you're being chased by fed dogs as well, not that I'd know of course
