wonderful idea, also widely known to exist. |

well in that case make the dog pull a small cart
instead of carrying a bag. |

I've seen a dog that lived on a sailboat go to the store for a beer. |
|
| |
I used to have a horse that I could send to the store for beer but he couldn't count worth a damn, and they'd always short-change him. |
|
| |
Cheating a horse of small change is pretty low. These were Canadians, right ? Probably made them feel smug, being able to outwit a horse. |
|

"And the bartender says, 'Why the long face?'" |
|
| |
Title should be "Shopping Dogs", or anything else.
Not a proper title. No way, Jose. |
|
| |
"Wow, Smudge, the store only had dogfood - again?" |
|
| |
"Wow, Little Emperor Li Ching of Santosha, the store only had spit-roasted venison - again ? Well, yes, I would have liked some too, actually.... shame you were sooooo hungry ..... " |

Shih Tzu 1, Humans 0 (after extra time). |

[normzone] Was your horse's name Hans? |
|
| |
No, actually his given name was Poco Rey Del King, and thank you for the opportunity to establish his presence on the interweb. |
|
| |
His friends all called him Poke. A great horse, you would have liked him. |
|
| |
I believe that in traditional dog shopping, the mutt carries a basket by the handle in his mouth. I can't find a reference as to whether that was real or fiction, though, or just my poor brain. |
|
| |
//This will not work with malls/megastores// Sure it will;
you just have to do it in a mall/megastore way. You place an
order online, the storeclerk wands Fido's RFID collar and
loads the small cart, or whatever, with the appropriate
goods. |
|
| |
Then the dog gets into the back of a delivery truck and is driven home, safely. |
|
| |
I found the instance I was vaguely recalling of a dog carrying a shopping basket. It was in _Mistress Masham's Repose_ by T. H. White, a book that I recommend most highly to all ages. The dog delivered a message carried in a shopping basket held in his mouth by the handle. He did not go shopping. |
|
| |
Seriously. Find a copy of _Mistress Masham's Repose_ by T. H. White (the _Sword in the Stone_ author), with illustrations by Fritz Eichenberg, and read it. Please. Then give it to a nerdy child. |
