    We got our rescue dog sequenced.

    She came back 75% Staffordshire Terrier, 12.5% German Shepherd, and 12.5% “Miscellaneous Asian,” and if I had to hazard a guess, I’d say Shar Pei is a strong possibility, because she had a ton of extra skin around her neck and shoulders, giving her a mighty wattle.

    I’d like to imagine that, between those three components, some unethical breeder was trying to create some super fighting dog, and instead what they got was my dog: profoundly lazy, couch-motivated, totally lacking in hunting instincts, neither a sight nor scent hound (you could drop a piece of cheese on the ground and you’d have to point and say “Here! Here” as she obliviously sniffed in every direction), and so lacking in killer instinct that one time she found a baby rabbit in a bush and we said “Ah ah ah!” and she instantly dropped it unharmed and walked away without a glance back.

    She died just a few days ago, and I’m nowhere near over it

    She was the perfect dog.
