What is Dognity?
1.
What dog owners must remember all their lovely pets have. It is the canine equivalent to dignity. You should respect your pet’s dognity by not dressing him/her up in froufrou clothing, or by putting booties onto their feet, or by pushing them around in a doggy stroller, as any of these activities strip them of what already little dognity they have left after being manhandled every time they get a bath.
That poor dog! Her owner puts clothes on her and then prances her all around the neighborhood with no thought at all towards her dognity. I bet if she had opposable thumbs, that dog would kill herself.

Niles: Oh Dad, can't you spare that poor animal for just one commercial holiday? These humiliating outfits must deprive him entirely of any true sense of dognity.
