One Thing and Anutehrie A Confusing Patchwork Tale

Dog Pointers and Their Namesake Dogs in Drake's Magazine
Drake's Magazine dismisses a humorous taxonomy of dogs by social role, assigning breeds to professions and personas. It catalogues a collie for a dude, a coon dog for a negro, a water spaniel for a sailor, a watch dog for a jeweler, a ball-dog for a battle raiser, and a pointer for a stock broker, among others, noting the same dog also suits a puzzulator. It reflects dated stereotypes and a comic take on canine typings.
