Okay, so it’s the Halloween season and we’ve been watching a lot of horror movies. The most recent was this evening with I AM LEGEND. And it got me thinking. What is the one dog breed you would want to have with you after the apocalypse?
In this movie, Will Smith had a German Shepherd. That made sense. These are tough, smart, intuitive dogs with a fierce sense of loyalty. That’s nice.
I have a Pug and a Basset Hound. So basically, I have a lapdog who would be considered “good eatin'” by the measles/rabies infested zombies. Or a dog who would gleefully welcome them into my heavily fortified fortress, licking their bald, veiny skin and rolling over to have his tummy rubbed.
Either I have a small, overweight dog that eerily resembles Jack Elam or a “mentally-challenged” hound with the jaws of a velociraptor who, if he had a voice, would sound like Mortimer Snerd.
I think I’m doomed.
