Saw something just now on my RSS feed; you know how it is, you're zipping through the list, and something catches your eye. This time it was a BoingBoing post that puzzled me. An image of two dogs wearing talitz and kippahs--the blue and white shawls and yarmulkahs, skullcaps.
Not bothering to read the headline or the body, I wondered if there really were Jews who'd dress up their dogs for Shabbos--treating animals as family members is a universal human trait, I supposed.
Then I read the article--racist halloween costumes for pets.
*boggle*
Calling someone a dog is an insult in just about every culture. Considering Jews were called dogs by Nazis makes this even worse.
