It seems a frightful growing trend.

Why is it called “yoga”?

The humans are doing yoga and the puppies are just there to enhance their experience!!

When I first heard the term, I thought it was new dog owners taking their puppies along for a short session of yoga for the puppies, which seemed quite daft as they would be far too young to have left their mothers, to be subjected to possible joint problems and had not been inoculated.

But it is even more stupid than that, tiny puppies being used as yoga fashion accessories for unthinking, selfish humans.

It must be stopped as a matter of urgency.

Thanks, I had no idea. What strange things us humans find to amuse ourselves. Dogs aren’t playthings.

I'm sure the humans can do the downward dog without having to have a puppy to assist them.

Really - cruelty apart, what is the point?
The puppies must be a distraction to mindful yoga.
