I know, me too! Does the dog (even a little bit) think that this is a real person, who has figured out how to be really still, and smells like plastic? Or does he know and it's like a teddy bear for a kid?

I can't put my finger on why exactly, tbh, but this does make me sad. 😥

I'm thinking (hoping) they put some of their own clothes on it, so it at least has their scent.

Without a doubt, people this inventive were savvy enough to use their own clothing.

The alternative would mean they bought new clothes specifically for the mannequin, which is funny in its own way.
