Where is PETA when you need them?

Seriously. Dog yoga. For those of you keeping score, dogs really don't get the whole yoga positioning thing, so dog yoga seems to mostly consist of people stretching and bending their dogs into various positions. This is a great idea, and I'm sure the dogs really enjoy it. For gods' sake, people. They're dogs, not dolls. They don't want to do yoga, or wear funny hats, or go to the shrink, or any of those other things that people who have trouble differentiating dogs from children seem to want them to do. Dogs want to run around, smell things, roll in dead things, and occasionally chase a ball, a cat, or a car. Then, having done one or more things which will cause them to stink like utter doom, they want to come into your house, and sit in your lap. And fart. Those are things that dogs do. Yoga is not on the list.

The critical difference here is that at no point did you grab the dingo's back legs and lift them up like a wheelbarrow racer.

I'm all for people doing yoga, even in the presence of dogs, if need be. You are perfectly capable of consenting to yoga. It's the thing where they make the dogs do it too that bothers me.

No, that's weight training.
