I am a dog of the 21st century.

I am a Malinois
Gifted among dogs, I shine in all disciplines and am always ready to work. Today I get to lay on the couch all day.

I am an Akita Inu
Unparalleled hound dog, my ancestors were also employed in dog fighting. Today I am asked to be tolerant of my peers and blamed for my reactivity when one approaches me.

I am a Beagle.
When I used to chase my prey, I gave voice so hunters could follow me. I was leading the dance. Today I'm being ejected to shut me up and wish I could go back to recall in a snap of a finger.

I'm a Yorkshire Terrier
I was a dreaded rat hunter in English mines. Today I’m thought I’m not able to use my legs and I’m still cuddled.

I'm a Labrador Retriever
My vision of happiness is a dive into a pond to bring back my master the duck he just pulled. Today we forgot I was a sport dog I’m obese and got to play nanny

I am a Jack Russell
I can stand up to a fox bigger than me in its own den. Today I'm being blamed for my bad temper and they want to make me a lap dog.

I'm a Siberian Husky
I experienced the vast spaces in the north of Russia, where I could track sleds at an impressive speed. Today, my only horizon is the walls of the garden, and the holes I dig in the ground are my only occupation.

I'm a border collie
I was made to work eight hours a day, and I am an incomparable herd-working artist. Today I’m being mad because no sheep I’m trying to control bikes, cars, kids in the house and everything moving

I am a dog of the 21st century.

If you like me, if you dream about me, if you want my beautiful blue eyes, or my athletic looks, but can't offer me a real dog's life, a life worth living, and if you can't offer me the job my genes want... so give up on me. If you like my looks but you're not ready to accept my traits based on rigorous genetic selection, and you think you can change them with your good will... so give up on me. I'm a 21st century dog, yes. But, taped deep in me, still sleeps the one who fought, the one who hunted, the one who sledged, the one who guided a herd. And sooner or later he'll wake up For better or for worse.
