If it was rotated 90 degrees cw it would look like she was standing with her back against a wall --would that change the interpretation? I won't deny that some people might interpret it as "alluring," but doesn't such an interpretation seem rather sexist to you? Would the image be alluring if the subject was a guy? Wouldn't a guy be interpreted as "resting" or "relaxing," or just being "cool?" It seems to me that the notion that a female in this pose is alluring is based on the very sexist notion that a female on her back has a purely sexual connotation; and while at the same time I recognize that interpretation probably exists for some, I also find it rather sad and disturbing.

I wish I hadn't read your reply to danthro. Now I feel like the cop in National Lampoon's Vacation. But instead of dragging behind the car in this case, I'd want to lock them up in a cage all day and shock them whenever they open their mouths. It really troubles me when people abuse animals this way, especially as it is often in a situation like you describe, where nothing can really be done about it. Dogs are social animals so leaving one by himself in a cage is actually quite cruel --but please don't give them the idea that they need another dog. They should be on a list of people now allowed to have a dog.
