Dear Dr. Alice,
My sister is constantly dressing up her dog in outfits that she wears. She loves to be twins with her dog! Is this ok? I think the dog probably hates it. Signed, Disgruntled Sister

 

Dear Disgruntled Sister,
I would let this one go! The pleasure your sister gets from doing this dress-up is fantastic and in some ways is probably therapeutic. It is always good to be surrounded with happy people and in some ways her dog is absolutely a therapy dog for her. Thank heavens for therapy dogs.
