A PRE-CHRISTMAS MESSAGE FROM OUR BEST FRIENDS

We the undersigned dogs have a special request.

Don’t misunderstand us, we like you humans – that is why we hang out with you a lot. You only have to look to see how happy we are when you come back from work.

Nevertheless, there is something we wish you would stop doing, and this special time of year is when you tend to do it to us most.

Please stop putting ridiculous clothes on us. We don’t need or want them and all the other dogs laugh at us. They are uncomfortable and itchy for us and ruin christmas because we  quite like the squeaky toy things you give us to destroy but if we have to wear clothes to get them we would just rather forget the whole thing.

Have you not noticed we have fur coats to keep us warm? Well, some of us do, others have had theirs cut off and/or dyed pink. We wish you would stop that too.

We  also do not require cosmetic surgery and we wish you wouldn’t cut our tails off either. If you started calling it amputation instead of ‘docking’ you might understand better how we feel about it.  

We find it very odd that you seem to buy us all these things that we don’t want or need and don’t look after some of your own kind at all. Have you not noticed that the only time we ignore you is when there are other dogs around? For heavens sake -you spend more on us than you do on your own children.

So, for our sake and yours could you please spend that money on someone who really needs it this year.

Signed,

Canines Against Anthropomorphisation.
