I saw an advertisement yesterday for a DNA test for dogs and I thought about what a sad, gullible, easily-brainwashed and influenced society we live in. I also thought about Lassie and about how rough it must have been for her to hear the news, “We’re sorry girl, I know all these years and through all those TV episodes you believed you were a Collie, but we just got the DNA results and it turns out that you’re actually an Italian Greyhound mixed with Cocker Spaniel and a little bit of retriever … It looks like your mom was boning every other dog in the neighborhood … we’re so sorry girl.”
