EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Small Dog In Handbag Realises It Could Die At Any Moment

Harrison (3) is a pomeranian owned by an inner city fashionista. Despite having spent the majority of his waking life alongside a wallet, phone and car keys, he's felt relatively comfortable and happy.

But earlier today while being carried down Crown St in the Australian city of Sydney, Harrison realised he was in grave danger.

Harrison realised he could be stolen, left behind, thrown in front of a car or squashed by anything and everything. Not only was a he a small dog in a big world, he’d given up all autonomy and put his faith in the hands of someone who saw him as basically a toy.

Harrison approached Comedy Central (via our in-house dog whisperer) to seek shelter and vent. Below is our exclusive interview with him in full:

CC: Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us, you’re very brave.

H:  Can you believe I’d let myself live like that for so long?

CC: Mmm...yes, hey, let me ask you… where do you poop?

H: ...What if I’d been left behind in some middle of nowhere place…. I didn’t even know footpaths existed! You know dogs go for walks?! Wait, what?

CC: You’re basically always in the handbag, where do you poop?

H: Here I am pouring my doggy heart out and you want to know where I poop?

CC: Yeah, your owner keeps their wallet and valuables in there, how can they just keep a live animal alongside all that stuff and not expect it to get soiled?

H: Exactly, how could they keep a live animal in there… as for your poop query-

CC: Unless of course they like poop all over their things… that’s kind of weird right?

H: Look, I would just bark and they’d let me out.

CC: Your owner could understand you via barks? That’s pretty cool.

H: Please, can we move on from this? This is about animal welfare.

CC: Nah, sorry mate, that’s all we have time for.
