So very NOT COOL....

?5

We have a feeling animal rights activists won't be thrilled about the latest accessory spotted on the streets of New York City: a "pooch pouch" that turns a dog into a purse.

Photographers snapped a woman walking in Manhattan on Wednesday toting her pup in a manner that was part harness, part cross-body bag. The effect was very... befuddling.
YA THINK?

Just having fun. Certainly doesn't mean I agree with turning a dog into a handbag.

She looks like she's auditioning for a Dick's Sporting Goods ad.

The dog purse/sling/hammock or whatever is pretty lame too. Just don't get the idea of using a pet as a fashion accessory.

I'll bet she bought this dog because its fur color matches her hair color.

Or she dyed her hair to match its fur.

Poor doggy.
