Ever since I became a father, every time I see a woman pushing a stroller, I always find myself taking a peek at the baby inside. Is it a boy? A girl? Apparently, this is something that all new parents tend to do. But you want to know what the weird thing is? Lately, I've been peeking into those strollers, only to see a dog firmly ensconced in the seat! WTF?
According to The Brooklyn Paper, more and more people are pushing their dogs and cats in fancy children's strollers. (The pet/baby product lines are being blurred.) Some people believe that the trend is going to continue in New York. After all, they reason that having the stroller allows them to bring their pets into stores, restaurants and other places with “No dogs allowed” signs — not to mention the miles of wear and tear it takes off their precious pets. Also, the strollers allow the dogs to roll in comfort.
When asked about this trend in the article, Brooklyn resident Andrew Dula, “What’s next? Are we going to be buying dog toilet paper? The day you find me pushing my dog in a stroller is the day he becomes my master.”
He then bent over to pick up a massive pile of poop left by his Golden Retriever.
Does anyone else find all of this as strange as I do?
