Useless, Absolutely Useless

Most dogs were bred for something. Australian shepherds herd sheep, braving cold, wet weather and stampeding hooves. Labradors sniff out and retrieve birds and other game with their keen hunting instincts. Newfoundlands plunge into icy water to rescue drowning people and retrieve ropes.

And then there’s Harry.

Harry would get stepped on by a sheep. He’d last about 3 seconds in the wilderness by himself. And he can only swim if he starts paddling before he hits the water; otherwise he sinks. Yep, he was bred for one thing and one thing only.

To lounge.

Observe, if you will, my dog in his natural habitat.
