Maybe they had an active PETA chapter.

Dog gone if I know.

They remind me of the Japanese breeds: Native Japanese dogs

My uncle worked at the shipyard in Richmond, CA during WWII. A US ship came in that had captured a Japanese sub (I think it was a sub). After they took everyone into custody, the sailors found a mother dog and pups on board and brought them into port at Richmond. My uncle brought a tiny puppy home for his 2 little girls. They figured that it was just another cross-bred mutt, but they later learned that "Judy" was a traditional Japanese dog -- probably a Shiba Inu with the typical pricked ears and curly tail.

Judy was a dear little dog and faithful companion to my cousins and their parents for more than 15 years. One year the whole family went up to the mountains to play in the snow. They all piled into the car to go home at the end of the day (by now there were 4 kids). Half way home somebody asked, "Where's Judy?" Oh dear, they'd accidentally left her behind.

My uncle made a quick U turn and went back to where they had spent the afternoon. There sat Judy, just waiting. They were relieved to find her and felt really guilty about almost forgetting her.
