I would here focus on the price we as a nation pay for our continuing condescension. This is a high price to pay for the maintenance of a British colonial excrescence. When your puppy craps on your kitchen floor, it's a drag. When you slip your foot into your shoe only to encounter the warm, steamy pile she left, you may rage in frustration. When the puppy grows up to be a full grown Staffordshire Terrier and starts mauling the local children, it's time to have her put down.
