Big, Dumb Dogs Are The Best
Funny, Pets & Animals, USA, Vet | Healthy | May 2, 2022
Our German shepherd, Donner, is a very big dog — 120 pounds of muscle and bone and a head the size of a microwave oven. He’s also very sweet-tempered and not, alas, the sharpest Crayola in the box.
Our vet, who is a tiny little woman, has him up on the table at his annual exam. When the time comes for him to get a booster shot, she asks me to hold his head in case he responds badly to the needle going in. He doesn’t, nor to the next one she administers. In fact, he doesn’t even seem to notice.
Vet: *After a thoughtful pause* “You know… I’m not sure his brain and his pain centers are connected.”
Me: “That’s an awfully nice way of putting it.”
