Where do little dogs with clothing come from?

Vancouver is unusually wintery right now.

Which means there are more little dogs in clothing out than usual.

I have ambivalent feelings towards little dogs who need to wear clothes over top of their fur, take 10 steps for each one of their owners, and have to turn their head almost a full 90 degrees to look at their owners.

I mostly feel mild but painful embarrassment for them, like for a comedian whose jokes keep flopping to a silent and unresponsive audience. And a feeling of relief when they go away.
