I once matched with a girl on a dating app who told me that borzois’ faces look like David Duchovny’s and I can’t unsee it

I just read War and Peace for the first time last year. There’s a section in the book involving hunting with borzois, and the narrator mentions that one of the characters paid a family of serfs for his best dog. He didn’t pay money to a serf family - the cost of the dog was a serf family. Imagine that sort of bullshit if you’re a serf.

if i’m going to be sold for anything, a dog is probably the only option that wouldn’t make me feel miserable

so long as they take care of the good boy

Well, it was a good girl in the book, but don’t worry - she wasn’t treated like a serf.

Sounds right. There’s that British family that was caught underpaying their staff do much, they spent more on their dog

Fuck’s sake those serfs can be trained to hunt too, what a waste

TBH that puppy doesn’t look that normal. Basically every breed’s puppy looks something like this:

Round head, short snout. Chihuahuas, Pitbulls, Labradors, all the same shape. Obviously size and fur patterns will vary, but if I saw an infant puppy with such a long snout as OP’s image I would be very much aware that it would have an enormously long face as it developed.

Giving my kid a borzoi puppy, then every day pinching his nose and tail and tugging on them a little bit, to convince my kid I’m stretching the dog out like taffy.
