I have read that there are dog psychiatrists. I know what I think about that, but I wonder what you think. To that end, I have devised a two-question multiple-choice quiz. By the way, this test is different from other tests which you may have taken: For each question, there is only one wrong answer and either of the other two answers is correct. (I’m so darned easy that I can’t stand it.) Anyway, here it is.
Please complete the following two sentences:
- I believe that a dog psychiatrist is
a) a guy who is a bloody fool.
b) a guy who is a mountebank.
c) a sincere man/woman who is in touch with animals, and who is a living testament to all things which are good and right in his/her community, and who is a member of the world community of men/women/animals, and etc., etc., etc.
- I believe that anyone who takes his dog to a dog psychiatrist is
a) a guy who is a bloody fool.
b) a guy who has more money and time than he has good sense.
c) See answer “c)” to question 1 (hint, hint).
Test results: If you answered “c)” to either question, one of us is a nut.
You know, now that I think on the title of this masterpiece, maybe it should have been, “You, Your dog, and Fraud.”
