Rae Rae --- look what you started......
And I can't help but agree with you on this one.....
I think all you were commenting on was seeing a person smaller than most people being with a dog that is larger than most dogs.... And, I agree that this is something we see every day.
I was at PetCo about a year ago - and a huge big handsome young black guy had this tiny little chihuahua (a baby one at that) in the palm of his hand. He and his girlfriend had just bought it a harness - and I told him that I couldn't believe seeing the two of them together. He really laughed and said that he couldn't believe it either. He said he would never have believed it if anyone told him he was ever going to be crazy about a tiny little dog like that. He said he just loved that dog. Everyone got a kick out of the two of them together. Again - it was just the size of the person and the size of the dog being together that drew so much attention.
I'm sure your "little person" with her Newfoundland gets a lot of comments about how big her dog is for her. And - I would suspect that it doesn't bother her at all. I'm sure she is very proud of her big dog! After all - these dogs are "huge" --- more than a lot of people could manage.
Actually - now that I'm thinking of it. We used to have a family in our neighborhood that had a great dane - and the woman often took it for walks. And - don't think everyone didn't always comment on that dog being so big for her. She probably weighed 110 pounds or so - and she had one big dog!
Whatever - I agree there are far more important things in this world to worry about. Really - there are.
***** And I didn't know "midget" was an offensive term either. But I do think that "vertically challanged" and "height impaired" are totally ridiculous.
