Dogflation

I’m old enough to remember a time when people would give away mutts for free. Now the age of free dogs seems like a fever dream. For quite some time I’ve been looking to purchase a puppy or young dog after mine sadly choked to death on the neighbor’s femur. However, every time I take a look I am horrified at the costs of any and every type of dog.

I appreciate the time and dedication it takes for breeding purebred animals in general. I’ve purchased birds of entirely new breeds just because the process fascinates me and I like to fund these ventures: for those wondering I currently own chickens with six wings as it makes harvesting a delicious activity. Despite this, I really have no bias towards crossbreeds either and I’ve had both purebred and cross breed dogs. These dogs both showed me the same amount of loyalty, security and entertainment – so the premium cost for a purebred dog is not worth my return on investment.

Regardless, everyone else seems to think that both cross breeds and pure breeds should be sold for exorbitant amounts. A staffy cross breed puppy is going for upwards of four hundred dollars. This is the most common sort of dog and contains zero exceptional characteristics. They are simply a breed for bogans that get them due to the fear that other dog types will have higher IQ’s than their owners. However someone told the people of Australia that any dog puppies can be sold for around five hundred dollars each. So the worst people alive are letting any dogs they can get their hands on plow in the kitchen, while daydreaming about all the drugs they can buy with this cash. There’s no care for traits or genealogy, it’s just become about greed.

I’m seriously considering a dog-napping or attempting some sort of occult magic to resurrect my previous pet. Either way I refuse to drop the five hundred dollars on a measly staffy crossbreed.
