It's hardly normal, but it basically looks like an accidentally healthier English Bulldog (which is essentially what it is). It's probably a mid stage foundation dog for SMASHLETS not actually exhibiting the "desired" features but there as a reservoir of bone girth and "stockiness"

Ive noticed that black and brown dogs are more likely to be ugly and lighter colored dogs are more likely to be cute. Anyone else?

Even with mixed color dogs like huskies and collies, more grey than black and more white than grey makes for a cuter dog.

Sounds like nonsense. I go by what is practical and in practical terms solid or brindle browns will always be superior because it's a neutral colour that stands out the least when shed. Same reason why short single coats are better as well.

This is called black dog syndrome and it's because the lighter colored dogs and cats are perceived to be better looking, easier to train and friendlier.

Other rodents welcome

How do you give medicine to a rat?
I usually pin them on their back and get it in their mouth quick, followed by a sweet treat to get rid of the taste (raisin, dried banana etc.)
Dillinger was different, he wouldn't fight and just got it done quick (vid rel)

There's more than two options, you know. Reducing everything you don't like to "leftism" based off emotion is lazy and retarded.
>Selling out your own country to support an "ally" that hates you and dominates you is also leftism. That isn't conserving anything.
So the modern conservative party and Trump are leftists for supporting China and Israel?

>It's been around since the 70's and 80's.
Lol that's exactly my point dumbass. That's incredibly recent in the timescale of human civilization and invention. The fact that the 80's feels like ancient history to you just reinforces your age. You have no real understanding of nor appreciation for the world you were born into and what it took to get here.
