With all due respect, dogs do SO count. Especially if Nabby actually has an Irish Wolfhound. I knew one of these gorgeous beasts when I lived in Toronto. When running around in a confined space, he was by far the clumsiest creature I had ever seen, stumbling over his own feet, barely able to get around. But then his owner would throw a ball, and the Wolfhound would take out after it, and it was like a total transformation. Running full speed -- as fast as some horses -- after prey (even if the prey is just a rubber ball) reveals just SO much about the genetic engineering that went into creating this breed. They were born for speed. It's moving slowly that gives them problems.
