That was his lap dog.

When I was a kid I was given a dog. A dog that would have been really expensive if he hadn’t been neutered. He had been owned by the friend of a friend of my mother, and before he was given to me he was a show dog that won Best in Show multiple times.

Being a kid I really didn’t think much about it, but later I asked how I had ended up with such a valuable prize. Well turns out it was a bit of petty revenge.

The woman who owned him was married to a man who had zero interest in dog shows. He did however love this one dog his wife showed. This Best in Show winning dog. A dog who was his lapdog whenever he wasn’t at a show.

Unfortunately for the husband, he also had no interest in being faithful to his wife. When she discovered this, she neutered the dog, gave it away, and filed for divorce.

He was a great lapdog.
