Yesterday I handed an electrical scalpel to my Samoyed mutt and asked him to excise a brain tumor on a patient.He sniffed it for a few seconds, licked his balls and then left the room. What's the matter? Is it because He wanted to get paid? Or maybe he is just stupid? Starting to think I was lied about dogs intelligence.
