Dog lover putin gets a new puppy as a birthday gift from the turkmen leader

That’s how Mummy dogs carry their puppies, the scruf of a dogs neck is designed to be held like that. With out causing pain.

But once a puppy reaches a certain size its no longer comfortable or safe because there is a lot more weight dragging on the hold. This pup is definitely to big. I love how in the last panel he's looking back accordingly at the guy

I understand it for when they're really tiny puppies but as it's bigger there must be better ways of carrying it so it's more comfortable

Yes, as Putin demonstrates. Hell the baby Simba hold would've work fine.

Exactly!
