There is an Extinct Dog Breed Called a Turnspit

It sounds like a joke, but it’s real.

In England in the 16th century, they built a large “hamster wheel” that when rotated in turned meat over an open fire. The turning was required to cook the meat evenly. The dog was bred to turn the wheel.

  1. WTF?
    Dog was getting plenty of exercise, probably a few scraps of meat, and got to spread hair and dog dander all over the kitchen – what more should a dog want?

    The dogs were probably proud to be earning their keep – not like those little fluffy shit-dogs that sat in people’s laps and took on their fleas.

    Now the fukkin dogs will be demanding reparations.
