Haha, I've not yet bought a stroller for my dude, but I carry him around in my arms if I need him off the ground and with me! I used to just haul him around everywhere in his carrier slung over my shoulder when I was socializing him. He now loves to be on the ground himself but i would love a little wagon that I could put him in when he gets a bit hot or tired.

The nice thing about the stroller is that it keeps them off the ground under tables where you have no idea what they might pick up and eat. You can also take them in places that don’t necessarily say “no dogs ”, but you just aren’t sure. No one seems to mind a small dog enclosed in a stroller. AND, they can haul all your bags for you when you are shopping! ;)
When i do eventually get one, i know i will be teased to hell and back but it'll be worth it! Plus Enzo is cute and sits very nicely in a shopping cart(that had a towel placed for him) So I'm sure he would adjust to a wagon or stroller well.

Yes, Ducky does the shopping cart thing, but where the stroller comes in handy is farmer’s markets, out door craft fairs, etc. It also keeps your dog off the ground and out of harm’s way (feet and big dogs) in those crowded settings. As far as teasing is concerned, maybe your peers (I don’t know your age) or family. But the general public is pretty used to dog strollers these days. I have never had anyone react other than to think it was cute!
Mostly my peers! My mom would probably love the idea for her little dogs, lol. There's a lot of benefits i can see from using a wagon especially in a crowd, i do get worried that he will get stepped on or eat something he shouldn't! i know dogs in strollers and wagons get a lot of positive attention just from being so darn cute.
