This is purely tongue in cheek. It is my own personal opinion and I am going to share it:
Our dog comes out to say hello. The guest says "We love dogs, we have one"
I ask "Neat, what sort of dog do you have?"
He/She "Oh he's a rescue"
Me "Big dog, small dog?..."
Them "He's a rescue..."
Me "Long hair? Short hair? Mixed?..."
Them "We rescued him. He was abused badly. He has long hair, part Chow, about 45 pounds..."
So it's apparently a new breed. We have many guests tell me the same thing. It is not THEIR DOG. It is forever labeled "a rescue".
Yes this gets my goat, let the dog be your dog, please, stop calling him that. Give him a chance...
