Dog Yoga

About a year ago, I started reading articles and hearing stories about Dog Yoga. Instead of putting yourself in a Downward Facing Dog position, about one-half of the class time was focusing on "dong" yoga to Fido. The Seattle Animal Shelter on 15th Avenue West had a Dog Yoga demonstration, and pictures of dogs with their ears being smoothed surfaced on the Internet the next day.

Did you know that Seattle has more registered dogs than children? Do you get irritated that some places, such as the Farmer's Market, posts signs that say, "Dogs Not Allowed"? Is it truly a dog's world? 

Should dog owners be allowed to bring "man's best friend" to their local yoga studio? Or do you think studios should accomodate pet owners by hosting once-a-month Dog yoga or cat yoga days?

Finally, I'll share a quote I saw on a bookmark years ago: 

"Outside of a dog, books are man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read."
