While biking the other day, I passed a woman wearing a sling-type contraption over her shoulder and around her waist. Poking out of the sling was the head of a small dog.

I’ve seen dogs pushed in strollers before. I think I’ve even seen them carried around in purses or bags. But swaddled in a sling like a baby? “Now that’s a new one,” I thought.
