    Seeing as the dachshund was bred in the 1600s, I don’t think Greek mythology would have included it. It would be like saying the trojan war might have had muskets because the Iliad doesn’t say they didn’t have them.

        I don’t understand how that is the most upvoted comment in the thread? Like, is that supposed to be facetious? What the fuck is wrong with Lemmy?

      if we’re gonna be smartasses in this comment section, the proper spelling is Dachshund. “Dachs” is German for badger, “Hund” is German for, well, dog.
