What am I doing watching a video with a dog in it? Nope, I can't possibly have found that dog nice. I'm not a fan of dogs. Now my Youtube recommendations will be full of dog videos. Grrhh. Cats riding on Roombas or goats climbing trees and dams I can enjoy, but dogs?
Well, ok. I could perhaps be converted to cute dogs. But don't expect me not to growl if I click on a video that turns out to be of a dog cruelly cross-bred to modern show standards.
(If you don't know what I mean, find a picture of a Victorian alsatian/German shepherd and also of a Victorian British bulldog, then look at the dog-show winning modern versions. Alsation deformed with tiny back legs, bulldog with a nose so flat it can barely breathe. I had a rescue cat that was a 'Scottish fold'. Oh, so prize-winningly cute with floppy ears - and riddled with painful arthritis because the ears were like that through cross-breeding to produce weak cartilege. Buy a cute, therefore overpriced, cat, then dump it when you realise arthritis medication costs a bob or two.)
But shaving fur to fix yucky problem then providing a coat? Yup, I'm all for that.
