When it comes to Christmas presents its easy to forget man’s best friend. I mean, who’s there for you after a long day’s work? Who will cuddle with you during those long, lonely nights? Who will offer up kisses when nobody else will?

It’s unconditional love!

So, in addition to bones, treats, and snacks for your little pup, you could always splurge on an outfit for your mutt! Perfect, right?

In theory, sure. Maybe you have a little dog who needs the extra layers when it’s January and -25 degrees outside. Maybe you throw doggie boots on him when it’s icy (or you live in a city where the sidewalks may tear up your puppy’s feet).

But you know what I do have a problem with?

Hipster dog outfits.

Since when does a dog need clothing from American Apparel?

I mean, if it’s necessary, fine. But I’d like to remind all those girls out there that dogs aren’t dolls. You can’t forget that dog’s are creatures. They’re alive. And unless they’re literally freezing their tails off, probably don’t like wearing clothes.

Before you subject your pet to hopeless trends, remember that dogs hold all the power in the relationship.

If you’re prone to making your dog wear a hoodie everyday, I’d watch where I step for awhile.
