I have mused on occasion about the consequences if, given a world in which the only dog breed was a kind of domesticated wild dog bred for nothing in particular, someone created dog breeds such as we recognise today and presented them to the world. I reckon that person would get lynched. We put up with an awful lot of things just because that's how they were when we got here.
