What You Should Know About The Portuguese Water Dog
April 15, 2009 in What You Should Know
The Portuguese Water Dog, colloquially known as a Spider Cat, once existed all along the Southern Coast of France after migrating from Italy during the heatwave of 1849-1857. Having little useful grasp of Portuguese (indeed, until the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939, most Spider Cats thought they were living in Greenland) they were instead taught to herd fish and small children into fishermen’s nets, to retrieve lost tackle or broken nets and basic welding duties. They were also taught to act as loveable drug smugglers by going either from ship to ship or ship to shore on their hind legs with the smack in their mouths.
