Your morning adorable: Dachshund wears booties

We can’t explain our deep and abiding love of dogs wearing shoes, but suffice it to say that the love is strong. (The concept may not be quite as funny as a cat with tape stuck to its paw, but it’s a little less mean too.)

This little dachshund, named Lyska, is clearly doubtful about the proposition of walking with booties on. Still, we admire the attempt! (We also admire the attempts made by this little Chihuahua and, particularly, this agile little terrier.)

We suspect the lesson we should draw from all this is that dogs were not meant to wear shoes -- but that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy the evidence that leads us to that conclusion, does it?
