A friend just posted this article on Facebook, and I had to share. All rescuers are intimately familiar, unfortunately, with those racist bigots who only want to have 'purebred' dogs—yes, racist bigots; what else would you call someone who exhibits overt and shameless prejudice towards race, country of origin, or ancestry?
So... this happened in Brazil. One of these racist bigots was interested in adopting a dog—but it had to be a purebred, "preferably an English Cocker [Spaniel]", because she didn't like "vira latas" ('mutts') due to "aesthetic reasons".
(The story is in Portuguese, but I've translated, loosely, the gist here.)
Magno's response, in green: "Hi! Yes, I do have one available."
Racist bigot Claudia, probably feeling all warm and fuzzy at the prospect of soon having her purebred puppy at home, goes on to ask what the adoption requirements are.
And that's when the dream shattered.

Tackled, Tangled, Torn (#atozchallenge)
I apologize.
I have no dog-wisdom (wis-dog?) for you today. Life's been hectic, yadda yadda--right. Like yours hasn't. And you managed to put up your T post.
(And I swore--swore--I'd pre-write all posts this year.)
I hope you can forgive me. I'll work on U.
