The picture of the dog in snowboots does look very embarassed...it looks to be a border collie of some sort...my border collie gets embarassed when we put clothes/snowboots on her as well...she gives this look like "screw you...I look ridiculous"...but they protect her little paw pads from the snow/ice...
I don't see anything wrong w/dogs on the runway...most have on organization breathing down their back making sure the animals are taken care of anyway! (which I think they should)...and also as someone said before...most of the breeds shown here are showdogs...such as afghan hounds, chinese crested, etc...plus my friend has a chinese crested (long hair) and it loves to wear clothes...it can help with fear/anxiety in some dogs to wear sweaters/tee-shirts, etc
I thought this was supposed to be a thread about animals on the runway...not dead animals used for the clothes...wouldn't that fall under fur, etc? Not a pro/anti-fur debate...
Also, those birds obviously were not alive when put on the shoe...either stuffed already (birds do not have miraculously long lives usually)...or fake...not live...give me a break...
