Jackson IS my family. More than probably anyone could imagine. He's spoiled beyond belief and VERY well taken care of. However he IS still a dog in the end - children are not born with paw pads and four legs, either, LOL...
I'm not saying dogs can't get tired, or burnt paw pads, etc, but they are physically designed to endure a bit more than a human toddler in those terms.
But overall, I see the appeal, I get why people do it, it's just not for me.
I am not going to judge - I don't see a problem when walking around a festival, or a dog event, etc. I will not lie and say that I was a little flabbergasted when someone walked into the dog park with their dogs decked out in dresses, who just wanted to be picked up the entire time anyways - why even come to a dog park? But if that's their thing, that's their thing.
