The most common owner-reported disorders in their dogs were allergies, corneal ulcers, skin fold infections and Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome (BOAS). [...] Despite awareness of their dog’s health issues, 70.9% owners considered their dog to be in very good health or the best health possible.
For all four areas of dysfunction, greater severity of signs was significantly associated with recognition of a problem in that domain, indicating that dogs may need to reach a critical level of clinical severity (a threshold) before owners consciously acknowledge their dog has a ‘problem’ that is somehow worse than just being ‘normal for the breed’. These normalisation and thresholding phenomena are of welfare concern because they may prolong suffering and worsen prognosis in affected dogs.
This deflection phenomenon may be driven by cognitive dissonance, where owners are aware of health problems in their dog’s breed, but find accepting these problems in their own dog as psychologically uncomfortable, instead deflecting the issues to other individuals.

Wait. This reminds me of that Little Dog Gang that would jump people at the end of the Festival in my hometown unless you paid protection money in snacks. The weren't wild they were just assholes.
All the DJD are little asshole dogs with the biggest being maybe a hound dog mix.
And Nickel is the cat who rules them with beloved tyranny.
Did we just accomplish an au
