🐕 Knitting a sweater for a dog?

As someone who is not a fan of dogs, or pets in general, I've never understood the whole dog sweater thing.

Don't worry, I don't hate animals, we just tend not to be friends.

But today is National Dog Day, and I came across a great video by Jenna Phipps about knitting her dog, Mr. Benson, a sweater.

Mr. Benson suffers from some kind of licking disorder, which is quite entertaining to watch. And Jenna walks you through the entire dog sweater knitting process.

There's even a free pattern to work from.

If you're a dog parent, you'll probably enjoy this video, and if you're like me you might still like it1
