    poor dog…
    If you wouldn’t knit a lion’s mane (sp?) as a regular hat for your kid or yourself, it likely doesn’t look good on a pet either.
    It’s fug for your pug. Animal cruelty. Poor, poor dogs and the knitters who knit this for them.

    Get out your stopwatches, kids, for when the ASPCA gets wind of this!

    Poor little pooch to suffer such indignity. But it’s so funny! That means I’m a bad person, doesn’t it?

    The dog is going to need therapy.

    my boss saw this pattern as i surfed for dog sweaters. she wants me to make her dog one. i’ll be quitting my job soon.

    She looks like she’s going pee on the photographer’s nice set (she’s standing exactly like how my aunt’s female pug does when she pees)

    Now if they made that sweater in CAT sizes, that would make so much more sense. My one kitty already thinks he’s king of the house, all he needs is a mane.

    The poor puppy looks like he’s going to cry.

    I don’t know what’s worse the mane or the “extra” tail in back.

    Reminds me of an email that was sent to me… The quote said something like, “…and then we wonder why some dogs bit their owners!”

    I have never seen a dog with a “shoot me” look beofre….well there is a first time for everything. I nearly died!

    as soon as i saw this in the lion brand newsletter i was laughing so hard i was glad i have my own office!

    i almost sent it in, but didn’t have the heart. but it’s just too funny!

    For a little kid with a big dog whose is obsessed with the Chronicles of Narnia; no other logical explanation. In that context, on a cold October night with a short-haired dog, I can almost see the dog appreciating the thing.
    (This is because dogs do not understand the purpose of mirrors.)

    No new knitting posts? Does that mean that in the past few weeks everything designed and knitted has been in Good Taste? Fancy that! ;-D

  15. Mignon Pierce Says:

    I would like the pattern for my dog and if she doesn’t like it, I will use it for display at my favorite yarn shop. Can anyone tell me where I can get this pattern? Thank you MP

    Ummmm…Heeeelllloooo…is PETA there? This abomination should not go on any further! Boycott dumb lion costume pet thingies until this ends!

    ooh that poor dog

    My dog is has a rare yet familar case of Hemophilia D, and he must wear a hemophilia dog suit, similiar to this. This is no laughing matter. Good day.

  19. Ron S. Says:

    I doubt the dog paid much mind to it unless the photographer (or others) made him wear it more than a few minutes to get the shot. Dogs forget or forgive most such silly business by the end of the day.
