Think about it

A lot of dog owners believe that they can tell what their dogs are feeling. They believe that they can assess their dog's emotions no matter the context.

Exactly!

When I shared this photo just over a year ago, it caused a lot of stir on the internet.
People were mad. I was called names, I was accused of mistreating my dog, and I was told repeatedly that if my dog couldn’t handle being greeted by another, he had no business leaving my home.

I know this topic can be a sensitive one, so I was ready for some difference in opinions.

What I didn’t prepare for was the entitlement. The blatant selfishness. The loathing directed at me because my dog has different boundaries than someone else’s.

I feel that this topic is an incredibly important one to talk about. These dogs, the ones who need some extra space deserve to have someone to speak up on their behalf.
So I will continue to be that voice.

Head on over to the blog to read more about this topic and reasons why a dog might need space (www.sit-pretty.ca/blog - link in bio!)

FB Memories reminded me that 3 years ago I did something I had always wanted to do. Design and commission an infographic from Doggie Drawings by Lili Chin 🥰🥰
