The Internet Can't Decide How Dogs Should Wear Pants

#1 In the picture below, which is on the front page of Reddit and being passed around social-media outlets like Facebook and Twitter, you can see the two options presented:

There is a new debate making its way around the internet, and it has to do with the age-old question of how a dog should wear pants.

#2 As one commented, pants are meant to cover "shame."

The argument for the first option is that pants are meant to cover our legs, and since a dog has four legs, dog pants should take that into account. Many commenters have disputed this, contending that, in fact, dogs have two arms and two legs. The argument for the second is that pants are meant to cover the limbs attached to our buttocks (and our buttocks themselves), and thus this is what dog pants should focus on.

#3 Some social media users even went as far as creating a meme to solve the dilemma:

From a practical perspective, the second one is clearly the winner, and that seems to be the leading consensus. But the more interesting implications of the picture aren't really about dog pants themselves, but about why human clothing has evolved in the way it has.

The initial Facebook post was created by Norbert, a UR-MOM page admin, who said in a Maxim interview that he created the image after seeing some dogs wearing pants and thinking about the fact that dogs don't really have arms so their pants should technically go on every leg.

The rest is history.
