These Adorable Dogs With Short Legs Have the Cutest Walks
There’s something about dogs with tiny legs that’s just so utterly charming. Maybe it’s the way they conjure a mental image of a T-Rex, with its tiny arms all helpless and reaching into the distance, its giant head looking like a mascot costume when paired with the wanting arms. Maybe it’s the way the tiny legs make their equally tiny butts dance when you take them for a stroll through the park. Maybe it’s just the unexpected combination of a regular-sized body and these wee little legs that seems so wrong and yet so clearly right.
