Heavens, no.
The VRWDC employs much subtler methods.
Their most dangerous weapon is The Mournful Stare.
Employed while resting their head upon their “owner’s” knee, its effects are devastating.
The owner usually goes to insane lengths offering the Dobermann various treats, pats, runs in the yard, etc in a desperate attempt to figure out what the dog “wants”.
Normally, the dog actually wants nothing.
It’s simply an exercise to see exactly how many futile appeasements the dog can emotionally blackmail the owner into doing.
The VRWDC suspects that some other breed is behind this Pavlovian ball fetching scheme.
[most likely Labradors]
or Jack Russell Terrorists....
