    People: thanks to those punnet squares, we have been able to disable pug breeds and give larger breeds severe life altering conditions.

    Big Pharma: “At Loyal, we see the short lifespan of big dogs not as inevitable, but as a genetically-associated disease caused by historical artificial selection, and therefore amenable to targeting and treatment with a drug.”

    People: phew, thank god we don’t have to endure any consequences for manipulating the genetics of dogs back and forth like a game of tennis.
