If only... as suggested by his vet I tried to get my dog to wear sock bootie things on one of his rear feet to stop him clawing at stitches on his side after surgery.
He hated it, made a huge performance trying to shake it off and finally shredded the bootie with his teeth and pulled them off, I even tried some surgical tape to keep them on. He has a great "f@#$ you human, not doing that ever again" scowling look when he wants.
