[QUOTE=LuauLinda;634650]Most people who walk their dogs in a stroller is to get them out in the fresh air when they are physically unable to walk due to arthritis or injury. I have two dogs, one wants to walk miles, my other old girl can only go a short way, so when she is spent, in the stroller she goes. Both dogs get to go on the outing and have fun. I don't think a dog stroller is anyone's first choice but rather a necessity for an aging dog.[/QUOTE


I agree with this. It just occurred to me that some people might think dog owners with strollers are trying to anthropomorphize their pets. I don't believe this is the case. They're not playing Baby In Stroller. They are simply devising a way to get some exercise and have their dog who cannot go long distances along with them.
