There's nothing abusive about this costume. The dog is a greyhound - that's why he looks so skinny in it. You can tell both the body suit and the "robotic" parts fit loosely - the dog's not being restrained at all by it.
My dog is a flat-coated retriever mix, and he LOVES dressing up. He gets super-proud and can't wait to show everybody when he can wear clothes like his people do, even though it's a special-occasion thing (since he also partakes in toddler habits such as rolling in mud and digging under the porch).
If I had to hazard a guess, this dog's look of concern is less about the costume and more about "Why do I have to stand on this all-white place all by myself? Why isn't mom here? Does this take long?" Dogs can be difficult to photograph solo like that, because they're social animals.
