Also, smaller dogs will be put in harnesses of sorts because if you were to put a leash on their collar you could snap their neck.
Many dogs are put into harnesses.
Now I'm not saying it';s ok to put a child in a harness because I think that's awful, but it's not an accurate comparison to say you wouldn't put a dog in a harness, why a child.

I have a 12.5 year old golden retriever. He has some sort of a thyroid problem and it makes his neck kind of swollen and he coughs a lot - he can't wear a collar at all, so if we are taking him out anywhere we have to put a harness on him too. He chokes if you put him in a collar - and hes a big dog.
