If a dog wore trousers, how would it wear them?

<p>It's the fashion conundrum that has the internet in a tizzy.</p> <p>Forget <a href="/news/news/2015/02/what-colour-is-the-dress/" target="_blank"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">what colour is that dress</span></strong></a> - this time the situation concerns dogs, trousers, and a surprisingly divisive question.</p> <p><em>Maxim</em> magazine's Jared Keller tweeted an image back in December which posed the possibility of canines squeezing into a pair of jeans.</p> <p>Showing one dog wearing a pair on his two hind legs, and another wearing denims on all four of his legs, the cartoon asked: "If a dog wore pants would he wear them like this or this?"</p> <p>On one side, people have argued that trousers belong on legs, and since a dog technically has more than two, a quadruple-legged pair would be needed.</p> <p>However, the opposition claims you wouldn't wear jeans on your "arms", so why would a dog? Aren't trousers supposed to cover your backside, after all?</p> <p>"[The image] was shared on my Facebook news feed by a high school friend from a page called Doggo fight, which shared it from a page called Utopian Raspberry - Modern Oasis Machine (read: UR-MOM)," Keller wrote in an accompanying article.</p> <p>"I thought about how they don't really have arms so their pants should technically go on every leg," Norbert told Maxim.</p> <p>The original tweet, which has been shared more than 26,000 times, spawned its own hashtag  - #dogpants.</p> <p>While the image's creator believes the "the second one looks better", which do you prefer?</p> <p><em>First appeared on <a href="http://Stuff.co.nz" target="_blank"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Stuff.co.nz.</span></strong></a></em></p> <p><strong>Related links:</strong></p> <p><a href="http://www.oversixty.co.nz/lifestyle/family-pets/2015/11/interspecies-animal-friendships/"><em><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">15 unlikely friendships that will melt your heart</span></strong></em></a></p> <p><a href="http://www.oversixty.co.nz/lifestyle/family-pets/2015/11/funny-dog-snapchats/"><strong><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">11 funny snapchat pictures that only dog lovers appreciate</span></em></strong></a></p> <p><a href="http://www.oversixty.co.nz/lifestyle/family-pets/2015/10/why-dogs-so-happy-to-see-you/"><strong><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">The science behind dogs being so happy to see you</span></em></strong></a></p>
