A chain of tweets started by a Twitter user who only goes by the initial ‘C’ has gone viral with over 174,000 retweets and 283,000 likes. It shows subway passengers carrying their dogs along in bags — and the pics are hysterical.

In one, a man stands on the subway with his large, Husky-like dog inside a canvas bag slung on his shoulder. In another, a woman holds on to one of those plastic IKEA bags, which her large dog wears around his body–but he’s standing on the subway platform!
