“Dogs wearing pantyhose” is a popular new meme in China. Hong Kong site Sharp Daily has reported that users on the Chinese social network Weibo “are uploading gag photos of their dogs wearing panty hose, joking how “sexy” the mutts look.”

People seem to have a love-hate relationship with dogs dressed up like humans, but that hasn't stopped the Internet from churning out more ridiculous memes.

The latest instalment: Dogs wearing pantyhose (OK, we're classing it up a bit, Dis Magazine called it "bitches wearing pantyhose") is a trend picking up in China, according to Sharp Daily, a Hong Kong news site.

Since we at IrishDogs.ie love some good watchdog journalism, we thought it our duty to relay these photos to you. Bare in mind, though, dogs wearing pantyhose drew laughs in the office but left others upset.
