Labs have a soft bite that was bred into them to ensure that, when they fetched a duck, they wouldn't damage the carcass. They are wonderful family dogs, and I won't have some fricking chud journo sully the name of these idiotic but lovely creatures.

Pit Bulls can all get the Gigavaccinator treatment.

I'm sure it's the lab genes, and not the 50% mixed part that caused this.

Most pitbulls are fine. It's the ones who kill people you have to watch out for.

I really hate that for Science and Nature journals you have to make so many fricking convoluted figures. They've basically had to make 7 posters for a short article. I guess it helps make a fricking survey of dog owners look like you've done something interesting
