Re: Dog Backpacks...
Yes, that is what I am saying. Dogs are not beasts of burden and their body structures are not suited to haul loads despite the fact that some ancient Native Americans may have done so. Just because SOME Native Americans used dogs to haul loads doesn't mean it was good for the dogs. Some native tribes did all kinds of things detrimental to good health to both man or beast. In a world where few people lived past 38 years old, concerns about a dog's health took a low priority. We live in different times. Putting your dog's health and safety at risk for recreation is reckless vanity on your part.
Tell you what, print this thread. Put it in a drawer where you store pictures of your dog. When your dog can no longer move because his back gives out on him, review this thread and remind yourself how convinced you once were that loading dogs with backpacks was a good thing.
