Quote from Sophia in Mary Has a Little Lamb
Dorothy: Ma, what does Fred's dog have to do with this? Sophia: It's a known fact that dogs take on the personality traits of their masters. Dorothy: That's ridiculous. Sophia: Oh, yeah? Then why does your brother Phil's poodle like to wear that tutu and hop around on his hind legs? Dorothy: Oh, come on, Ma. I mean, Phil would look pretty stupid doing that by himself.
