The woman was seen carrying a shoulder-strap style harness- with a live dog attached.
Similar to a baby sling, the carrier saves the little dear from having to use its precious paws- after all, walking is SO last season.
But the pampered pooch appeared a little grumpy, and not all onlookers were impressed with the invention.
'It doesn't look comfortable. The poor thing's legs will probably fall asleep!’ cried a disgruntled New Yorker, before adding:
‘I'd want to carry my dog in front of me so I could pet her, or see any discomfort. It looks fashiony but I'd never use it.’
Another doggy-bag witness was less enraged, helpfully explaining that it may be more airy than a traditional dog carrier in the city heat.
We’re still wondering: What’s wrong with the little fella using its legs?
