Ike the Poodle

The Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show produces a number of beautiful, prize-winning dogs. Here is Ike, a standard poodle, caught in a not so attractive pose. What disturbs me most is that the breeders of this dog have taken a noble animal, bred for hunting, and turned it into an absolute mockery.

Have you no respect for man's best friend? Must you do this, and render an otherwise handsome animal so ugly? I know that this dog is probably worth more that I ever will be, but I still hold you in contempt.
