"Old." "Ugly" And sometimes just plain "Unpopular". They're the shelter dogs nobody wants. Week after week, month after month, they sit and wait for someone to take them home. They watch as their younger, cuter, smaller, more outgoing neighbours...

Fuckity FUCK. I just tried to post and upload a video. I got the following existential error message from Vox: "Sadly, your search couldn’t be completed. You could try again, but it still might not work. The world is a very unpredictable place...
