No, but everyone knows who’s a good boy! Right? Yes, you are! *pet*, *pet*
You forgot a “pet”! He has 3 heads!
The third head is not in mood for a pet just yet, it prefers snackos
No, that head was busy sniffing ass and gets no pets. Like always
Yeah we do
That’s fucking awesome! I hope doggo is having a great time
No, but a popular internet theory has his name meaning “spotted one” and whether or not it’s actually entomologically true, is always a fun thought. To think a god of the underworld played fetch with spot, the goodest multi-headed boi
So a dalmation of some sort?
Not trying to be an ass, but I’m pretty sure you meant etymologically. Entomology is the study of insects.
You’re right lol
A pug. It needs three heads to get enough oxygen into its lungs.
Every time I see a flat-faced dog, I feel bad for it. None of them can breathe properly. It’s disgusting that they keep getting bred. Let those breeds die out!
Seeing as the dachshund was bred in the 1600s, I don’t think Greek mythology would have included it. It would be like saying the trojan war might have had muskets because the Iliad doesn’t say they didn’t have them.
I don’t understand how that is the most upvoted comment in the thread? Like, is that supposed to be facetious? What the fuck is wrong with Lemmy?
it reminds me of my first days here - for some reason I was rolling my eyes reading the comments of every other post, then things gradually got better.
if we’re gonna be smartasses in this comment section, the proper spelling is Dachshund. “Dachs” is German for badger, “Hund” is German for, well, dog.
People who fact check jokes should have their commenting privileges removed.
I thought of him more like a 3-pug-problem
Same with Chihuahuas.
I don’t think they had naming conventions back in the day.
Thank you, you made my brain go down a rabbithole.
My dad got the “cave canem” dog mosaic as a coaster when he visited Pompeii. He also put a “cave canem” sign above the dog house, which made most of the people walking by think his name was Cave.
People don’t know much Latin even in college towns.
