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.

I just want to know what is wrong with that woman's hips in the teaser picture. Too much "doga"??

The article is actually pretty funny; you can almost hear the author laughing their ass off at these crazies. Too bad the dogs have to suffer for their owner's amusement.

"My little Fluffy was much less energetic after doga!" Well no shit, lady...you probably confused the poor thing, not to mention mangling its joints into positions canines were never meant to assume. Paws together for prayer? St. Francis, preserve us...

This was my favorite line:
"But then statistics, as Dr Johnson himself might have observed, are often used as a dog uses a lamppost - more for support than illumination."

As it turns out, I know a few things about the habits of dogs and lamp-posts. Support really isn't in it, but I'm all about the concept of pissing on statistics.
