A couple of weeks ago (in a post appropriately titled “Whaaaaat?” 
) we reported on a major article in the New York Times about doga – yoga classes for dogs and their owners. According to the article, doga is apparently a “trend” that’s on the rise in the yoga world today. (There are some people out there who don’t quite agree with this assessment…) Well, today CNN covered the doga phenomenon with an article and a short video piece (scroll down to watch the amusing video.)
We’re going to leave it to smarmy YogaDork to provide the commentary on this one… (We love the wise musings of YogaDork!) :
CNN: Doga, or the Terrorists Have Already Won
“Between layoffs, threats of terrorism, and tainted dog food, the world can be a stressful place for you and your four-legged friends.” [Hard nosed CNN reporter]
Oh you’re kidding. CNN, always with the staunchest coverage of the most pressing and vital news stories, has finally sicked its investigative team on the Doga case. Leave it to a major news corporation to get to to the bottom of this, Scooby!
Says Doga instructor, Kari Harendorf, “It’s actually been proven scientifically, that just the simple act of petting a dog will release happy hormones in humans.”
That’s sweet. But call us crazy, you could probably do that at home for free, no?
Further observations by CNN’s news hound: “She [owner] carries Sophie [dog] around in a Louis Vuitton bag that’s bigger than my apartment.”
We don’t really feel the need to comment further. Watch the video if you wish.
