This is Dingo. He gets very anxious if he doesn't have a lap to sit on. In order to meet his lap needs, his family made him an emotional support dummy using pre-worn clothes donated from his grandpa. Dingo couldn't be happier, and we're happy for him. 13/10 #SeniorPupSaturday (FB: Janelle Grace)

Dingo, a tan senior chihuahua, sits on the lap of a life-size human dummy. the dummy is wearing a baseball cap, a long and short-sleeve shirt, and a pair of blue jeans. both are on the couch inside a home. Dingo looks perfectly happy and his tongue gives a little blep.

Dingo is in good company. We had a Yorkie (since passed), that loved babies. We never understood why. She would always get excited every time she saw a baby, so we bought her a latex baby doll. She slept with it all the time.

I have a friend who has a couple of Halloween props, a witch and a mummy, and his cats take turns sitting in their laps. They’re like giant dolls that you sit on a bench or the couch. He started leaving them out year round because his cats became attached to them.
