A lot of people don't know how to hold a dog (or a baby). They hold the front end and fail to support the butt. After seeing that a couple times, I stopped letting people pick up Max.
Ugh, you brought up another nightmare. I HATE when people hold them with one hand right under their belly. Sure it can be done easily, but it just seems like it would puts stress on their spine. I always use two hands, even with Jillie.

As for babies, I'm terrified of carrying them! I'd use four hands if I had them
