Barking Up The Wrong Animal Tree

(My dad has just finished a plate of chicken and is offering the scraps to our husky. I notice a bone on the plate.)

Me: “Careful of that bone, dad.”

Dad: “You always say this. One bone won’t hurt him.”

Me: “It will if he chokes on it.”

(I remove the stray bone.)

Dad: “He won’t choke on it. That’s what they eat in the wild!”

Me: “Wild huskies? You mean wolves right? Dogs have evolved a bit since they were wolves, dad.”

Dad: “No, not wolves, don’t be stupid! I mean wild huskies, sled dogs! They’re wild. People just catch them and put leads on them when they want to use them!”
